>Interestingly, I have noticeed no improvment in speed, even with the upgraded bandwidth. Many had complained in the last few months of the UT being slow. I have always found it acceptable.

No, it wasn't just the East Coast. I'm in Phoenix, AZ, and it was pretty poor out here until the end of the year. But it certainly seems even faster with the new interface to me, too.
