As far as I know customers on the 192k upstream where going to stay on this
speed and only new plans (from a certain date where going to be on 128k)
on Jetstream. The ISP has no control on the throttling of the speed. (this
is something telecom does - it does not even touch the ISP's network). Maybe
during some change around on Telecom's end your 192K upload was changed to
128K.

If you moved from 192k->128k then this would of been done via Telecom, not
Orcon (as Jetstream ISP's have NO control of this, only Telecom)

Thanks

Talking for myself.
