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.

    symmetric right?

    I talked about this in another thread recently, but my favorites are the ones that are so lopsided that you literally can’t send back ACKs fast enough to keep up with your own download speeds when using TCP.

      I’ve had that! Upload so bad that I couldn’t even send out a request! Even the DNS requests failed. “But you have download available”. Yes, mr customer service, but how does it know what to download?
