WOW! thats 2 years straight of a very large interest drop. I am so glad I did not consolidate my loans. Heck at this low rate theres really no need to rush to pay them off.

Unless you consolidated your loans or recieved them after Jun 2006 it will automatically change. See this site for more info

With my current balance, I will be paying about $20 less in interest every month. I'll keep my payments the same so I will have it payed off faster.
