When i saw the billboards for their "10G" network I got legitimately excited thinking it was 10Gb/s home internet. 10G was already short hand for 10Gb/s and home internet doesn't have 'generations' unless you are WISP. I can't tell you how pissed I was seeing their bullshit advertising. Thankfully we are lucky and have four ISPs offering gigabit (and some even offer multi-gig if you move over to a business line) so I don't have to deal with Comcasts bullshit anymore...
