I noticed this morning that the storage capacity of my free FastMail "Guest" account has been increased from 10MB to 25MB, but there is no announcement of this change on the homepage log of recent service changes or in the "What's New" blog. Even stranger, the description of service levels on the pre-signup "Learn More" page still shows the old capacity of 10MB. I'm glad they've done this, but isn't a bit odd that they did it without saying so and without posting the news anywhere? Was it maybe an unintended glitch of some sort? Have all the free accounts received storage bumps? How about the other service levels? Is it a good sign that they have made this generous gesture even though there will now be less incentive for free account holders to upgrade, or is the way it was done (with no announcement and no updating of the service grid) a sign of incipient sloppiness?
