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.

Yeah I'm seeing this stupid 10G thing advertised by Mediacom, too in my area. Like, we're just entering 5G era here and there's this...10G? So, you're meaning to tell me that we've been duped into believing 5G all along as being the next best thing but oh wait, did they dig this 10G shit out from some governmental secret program that was hidden for years to provide us this speed to browse with?

It's twice as fast as the government tracking provided by 5G!

(...or whatever it is the nut jobs say about 5G...)
