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.

    Of course they did. They know the average person would see xfinity saying they have 10G and assume their service is 5x better than every other service.

    Ads from large companies rely on people being braindead and not complaining when the product they get is a scam or false advertising. At least, that’s how I see it.

      10g fights the 5g that’s turning everyone into gay frogs. You won’t need the 5g blockers anymore.
