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 went from living in the sticks paying $85 for 500/250 to fios in my new place paying $80 almost gig up and down. I’m happy too but now I wonder if I could have talked them down too. Good idea sir.

        Best I can do in my 1k person town in Washington is 10mbps down and less than 1mbps up. It’s 50 bucks a month. They ran fiber lines through our farm ground to get to town this spring though so I’m hoping it’s available soon.
