Permanent.  I read somewhere that they're planning on "Introducing tiered
service plans to Better Serve You" at some point, so you pay extra and they
remove the downstream cap (maybe fiddle with the upstream cap too.)  Figures,
eh?  It won't affect me much, I rarely managed to get over 150KB/s even when
the cap wasn't there.

The main question now is "how often do the IPs change?".  The DHCP lease I got
this morning expires in 4 days, or so it says.  (The firewall/router is rarely
rebooted, of course.)  Guess it's time to register with dyndns.org or
something.
