Comcast says it represents a 10 Gigabit cable internet network they are building (it doesn’t exist) so they are basically changing the meaning of the g from generation to gig to act like 10g is 5 generations better (or twice as fast)…or that they have a 10 gigabit network. Neither is accurate. It’s still just cable internet that people have to use because they have no other option.

Fuck Comcast.

I read online they are abandoning the “confusing” 10g branding but I just saw a commercial for it. They think all of their customers are morons and count on folks having no other choices in a lot of cases.

Apologies to anyone outside the United States, this is just complaining about our poor internet options and deceptive advertising by greedy corporations.

    In my city there is so much completion in the internet space that the prices have dropped significantly. It is also in very high demand as my city is growing extremely fast.

    I’m not sure if it will last but the demand made it cost effective for the internet companies to install fiber everywhere. They literally have trucks and people deploying new fiber lines 5 days a week.
