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’m at up to 250mbps down and 10mbps up for $90 usd a month. In fairness though I do see that max speed, and even a bit over it regularly.

    There is a local Power company around here that started running fiber to their service area, but sadly I am not in it so I am stuck with ComCrap

      I just left their service. I was at 1000 Mbps / 20 Mbps (typically around 850 Mbps / 18 Mbps due to equipment) with unlimited data for $120 a month. Such a waste.

        I wish I could, but they are the only high speed around me unless I go with LTE, which can be spotty and is more expensive for slower speeds.
