They just lie about everything these days.

Archive: https://archive.today/UpT3X

From the post: "Comcast has reluctantly agreed to discontinue its "Xfinity 10G Network" brand name after losing an appeal of a ruling that found the marketing term was misleading. It will keep using the term 10G in other ways, however.

Verizon and T-Mobile both challenged Comcast's advertising of 10G, a term used by cable companies since it was unveiled in January 2019 by industry lobby group NCTA-The Internet & Television Association. We wrote in 2019 that the cable industry's 10G marketing was likely to confuse consumers and seemed to be a way of countering 5G hype generated by wireless companies."

Damn skippy. Everyone I know who uses a modem/router combo has issues and shitty range with it. Typically, more equipment means more failure points, but with this, it's actually a plus. If a power surge hits the modem, the router isn't toast. If the router takes a dump, the modem still functions. And using your own router is as easy as 192.168.x.x to enter and tweak. Their shit? You have to log into the website, install an app on your phone, or some other stupid bullshit.

Yep. Ive done the same for friends/family. It takes very little to get them setup with something far better and they are more happy than they would be with any of the ISP's garbage.
