Rogers Increases bandwidth allowance limits?

Sometime in the last week, Rogers has increased my allowable monthly bandwidth from 60 GB to 100 GB. This may have been mentioned in one of their bulk e-mails that I delete on sight, or it could have been implemented silently, like the infamous "traffic shaping".

I have the "Extreme" Internet package, where I had to had to pay for the modem, so it's possible that the increase in b/w might not be the same for all of the Internet packages they offer.

I do a lot of p2p sharing, so I've had to monitor my bandwidth usage almost dailly for the past 15 months. My bandwidth month runs from the 10th of the month to the 9th of the next, so this change might not show up for everyone until their current monthly usage chart rolls over.

Anyone else who still uses Rogers should check this out for themselves.
 
They sent me a notice saying they've just increased my service speed from 3Mbps to 5 Mbps.
 
I've had no problems with the speed before. It's just that, if I turned the bandwith all the way up, I could use the 60 GB in less than two days.
