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 imagine other providers using copper will be doing similar eventually to compete with each other.

Where do you live that you actually have competition? I've never heard of two cable providers covering the same territory. The whole industry is a racket.

Where I lived in Maryland, I had Xfinity and FiOS coverage at my house. Probably the reason prices were so reasonable.
