I just phoned them and asked them if it was true, they said Yes it is
true...

I just asked why they didn't cancel all jetstart accounts since they
obviously WAYYYY oversold their capacity to provide it and got a canned
"It's a management decision"...

Oh well, if something seems to good to be true, it usually is.

Mind you, it stinks that they are taking a hideously obvious backdoor method
to dropping jetstart... I can beleive getting a pricing model wrong by
20-30%, but raising prices by over 400% smacks of incompetence in the
initial pricing plan.
