 Recently (in May or some time earlier), southern Sweden (as well as many other locations) got new Mapbox imagery in many areas that earlier only had very low resolution imagery. The resolution is not super hi-res, but workable and much better than nothing. At best, it looks like this: http://grillo.users.openstreetmap.se/hires%20mapbox.png
This imagery covers a large area, but in some places, the highest resolution seemingly refuses to load (like Mapbox haven't imported all zoom levels). It certainly looks like it's the same photography session: http://grillo.users.openstreetmap.se/hilowres%20mapbox.png (yes, I have tried to reload imagery, try for yourselves at this area: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/56.15778/13.75513 )
In other places, where there was imagery before this big update, the old poor imagery replaces the better imagery on higher zoom levels. For example here, where the zoomed out imagery looks like it should be of higher resolution than what replaces it when zoomed in (poor black and white imagery): zoomed out: http://grillo.users.openstreetmap.se/highres%20zoomed%20out%20mapbox.png , same area zoomed in: http://grillo.users.openstreetmap.se/lowres%20zoomed%20in%20mapbox.png
I have already tried contacting Mapbox about this (about a month ago) but got no reply.
I would be very grateful if anyone could shed some light on this situation!

Regards
Andreas
PS: In contacting Mapbox. I had to create a Mapbox account. Does anyone know what's going on? Are they going to upload the higher resolution tiles that they probably have? Does anyone have a way to contact Mapbox about this that will actually go to someone who works with this? The contact options for OSM mappers who use Mapbox imagery seem to be very limited. I had to create an account and lie about my occupation (because they forced me to choose between very few different job titles when creating the account). Also, the contact form didn't seem to take OSM questions into account at all.
