I can't but think this is the business practice of a dying technology, yet another example.

I won the fiber lottery where I live, and I will never go back to cable (I had a choice). Let's just call the rejected cable choice a "30 Rock episode".

And that same cable provider eventually was called out for advertising a "10G Plan!". Yeah.

Meanwhile my fiber provider advertises options based on symmetric upload/download speeds. And I think this is the key in these days when we send a lot of outbound data with video call and offline backups.

Put in place a rule that only the lowest speed can be advertised by providers.
