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 absolutely abhor when they say "gig speed network" like they want to say gigabit but they know it isn't and make up some bullshit term that sounds similar. Every time I hear a commercial for it I get irrationally angry.

10 Gold coins for our shitty internet please, hand it over 😐✋

Comcast is the real bottom feeder of the internet service provider industry so it stands to reason that they hope they can fool enough people to "buy" into their crap. As someone that works professionally in IT for a living, I can only laugh at the crap the sales rep tries to sell me on. When I point out the fallacies of their knowledge, I think it goes over like a lead balloon and they just quit while they're not ahead.

Dude we barely have 5G. The 5G that we currently have in some areas of the world isn't even the full spectrum
