Insight CEO Michael Willner stopped by BroadbandReports.com’s message boards this week to give speed junkies an update on the MSO’s plans for raising data rates.

Upstream speeds will also see a "significant" increase, said Willner’s post. The Insight chief also used a post-script to answer a burning question on the boards—what type of Internet service does he have at home: Time Warner Cable’s RoadRunner with a newer generation Linksys wireless router. "All in all, I’m a happy camper," Willner wrote, after describing some of the speed fluctuations he experiences.
