I think that wired ISP bandwidth missed out on marketing/branding (which may also be intentional). The thing is that the average consumer is woefully misinformed. You don't even need to look that far. A comment downstream mistook gigabit with gigabyte. With cellular networks, everyone and their dog is clamoring for 5G. Wifi too now has numbers like wifi 6 and wifi 7. So my conclusion is that we need numbers but not units. Units confuse people.
