Got the email, reset the modem, plugged it back in, only to lose service :(.

Had to get them to initialize the modem and re-config it since it got corrupted somehow during the upgrade, but finally got the increase.

It's supposed to hit my area somewhere around the middle of February. I can't wait. Apparently you can buy an additional IP for $4.99 and pay an additional $4.99 on top of that to make it static --no 6-month static crap, just plain and simply STATIC! WOOHOO! :D :D :D
