Comcast advertising “10G” in hopes to confuse consumers to accept slower speeds - eviltoast

Comcast advertising “10G” in hopes to confuse consumers to accept slower speeds::Comcast says Xfinity offers 10G home internet, but the term “10G” is hazy and potentially misleading—especially because it has no relation to 5G for cell phones.

    I live in a small city with municipal fiber. 1 Gbps symmetrical is glorious and I would happily pay more than the $70 they’re charging.

      I moved from the Bay Area, the tech capital of the world, where Comcast had a monopoly. I was paying $70 a month for 100 Mbps down, 10 Mbps up.with a 1TB per month data cap. I moved to another state where there is competition for internet service, and was able to for $70 per month get 1 Gbps up and down with no data cap. It’s crazy how that works, huh?
