Hope it didn't cost him too much, but I'd say it has worked. Today is the first time things have loaded quickly in weeks. Almost instant screen loading for me. I'll enjoy it while it lasts at least. With luck, it'll last for a long time.
Ok, the speed boosts finally kicked in for me. I not used to paged just loading in front of my eyes.
Lately it's been load a page and go off to do something else and cross my fingers that it's actually load. This keeps up and I'll actually try to type in my new eberron character.
