The tech is speaking with the voice of inexperience. If he says you're "guaranteed 12M down and 3M up" those are the thresholds Comcast has set for "acceptable" service on your package, which I assume is advertised higher than that. If you're below those thresholds they will begin their normal troubleshooting/field tech process.

Yes, I've known for some time that's the case.

She hated the, as she described, "Capital-D" Deaf Community. At a young age, she was taught so well that people tended to not notice her deafness (including myself on occasion), and she describes how other would call her a "sellout" and a "traitor" for learning a "hearing language". She just simply considers herself bilingual (English and ASL).

Oh, and despite near-total deafness since birth, she could sing... on tune! Karaoke was one of her favorite activities.

She did try to give herself hearing. She once tried a pair of hearing aids that could allow her to very faintly hear sounds, but since all she knew in life was deafness, she couldn't process anything besides 'white noise'. She considered it a failed experiment, but at least she tried it. :)

To be fair, apparently there are these caveats:

1) Once your character is boosted, you'll be thrown into a scenario chain to teach you the higher abilities. You need to pass it to go back into the world.
2) There's still incentive to get your character to 60 first. If you raise a 60+ character to 90, your professions also auto-boost to 600.
3) By the time you can buy this, the level cap will be 100. There's still some leveling to do.

"When it comes to sites that are proactive and actually have an approval process for ads and wrap them up in their own delivery system to avoid spreading malware to their customers, I let the ads through."

Even then, there's no 100% guarantee. Yahoo Ads just last week had an issue with malware-laden ads.
