Comcast said it will drop "Xfinity 10G Network" brand name after losing appeal.

    Who the fuck cares about 10Gbit/s? With data caps, there is nothing I am downloading on a mobile device that is perceptibly faster than downloading it at 1/1000 of that speed

      This isn’t about 10gbps which is the point. It’s also not really about mobile. The packages they are offering are mostly cable connections (with a side of mobile).

      Holy shit I thought data caps died in the mid 2000s. Why is the US allowing ISPs get away with this nonsense?

        Because we apparently love A-B testing our government.

      The point is for dense areas, so theres enough bandwidth to share

      No one needs 100Mbps on their mobile data 99% of the time.
