    Yes, also, it should be criminal for home internet providers and phone service providers to conflate, directly or by implication, the “G” in 5G (fifth generation) and the “G” in 10G (ten gigabit).

    I saw a commercial one day that went something like “Our competitors only have 1G; we have 5G. Don’t you want to have the most Gs? We have the best Gs, no one has Gs like us. Don’t settle for inferior Gs, call today!”

    I remember commenting on the switch from 3g to 4g back around 2009 or so and they were already being deceptive in a lot of ways back then. Telecommunications has been a cesspool for decades.

      Sounds like a commercial for that trump phone.
