    I don’t think it’s intent is to confuse people with 5G. It’s that they finally have actual competition.

    EPB in Chattanooga announced the rollout of 10 Gbps service. Within a time span best measured in weeks I start seeing Billboards and Ads for Comcast’s own 10G network.

    This is exactly how Comcast’s 1 Gig rolled out for my area. EPB announced 1 Gbps to residential and whaddya know? Comcast now offers 800 Mpbs followed later by 1000 and 1200.
