Well, it's an HTML email... not sure how well that would fwd.  The
small print is:

   Additional $10 monthly price based on upgrade from Comcast
Performance 6.0 Mbps Service to
   Comcast Performance PLUS 8.0 Mbps Service (or Blast! 16 Mbps
Service, where available).
   Price shown does not include taxes. PowerBoost provides bursts of
download and upload speeds
   for the first 20 MB and 10 MB of a file respectively. Many factors
affect speed. Actual speeds vary
   and are not guaranteed. Cable modem required. Pricing and services
subject to change. Call for
   restrictions and complete details.

Interestingly, there is no upload specifics... so I would assume it's
just a download increase.
