I like how they said 10G meant 10 Gb/s and wasn't meant to be confused with meaning 10th Generation.
Then when it was pointed out that their speeds aren't 10 Gb/s, they're trying to claim that the 10G never was about the speed. So if it doesn't mean 10 Gb/s and it doesn't mean 10th Generation, then what the fuck does it mean?!?
The answer is obviously nothing. They're just trying to confuse consumers who think "10G surely must be better than 5G".
Well technically Coax can do 10Gb/s and being in the industry that is the current goal for most cable companies. Problem is its going to take years of upgrading infrastructure to achieve those speeds. Seems like Comcast just jumped the gun trying to build hype for a product that doesn't exist yet.
Upgrading infrastructure you say? I love company retreats!
