There was a photo[1] that made the front page of reddit today[2] showing that this is not limited to their online marketing. Apparently they are distributing similar material, in print, to potential Google Fiber customers.
This is pretty low. I get grumpy when I see technology companies attempting to take advantage of the knowledge, or lack thereof, of their consumers. I think about my grandparents and how their Comcast installer tried to tell them they needed to pay extra if they attached an HD cable from their television to their cable box when they were already paying for HD cable service.
Sickening and I would love to see regulations to prevent this kind of misleading, even if not false, advertising.

- Nullabillity 11y agoIt's almost funny, Comhem (Sweden's Comcast, except they don't actually have the monopoly they seem to think they do) has also been pushing the "Fastest wifi" angle really hard lately, whatever that actually means. Meanwhile, my grandparents just upgraded to a "250Mbps" connection with them which actually seems to be about 5Mbps... Wired...
