If they offer up to 10Gbps, then why are you making 100+ Mbps seem like a big deal?

From what little I know: 10 Gbps is more commonly associated with business service. For residential, 100 Mbps is more typical. It's also symmetric (you see it up and down).

I'm reporting on 1) what their site claims (10 Mbps residential, 10 Gbps elsewhere), and what actual experiences are (they're delivering more than they promise).

Given that most DSL/Cable options are still a small fraction of that, it's a considerable improvement.

It makes more sense if they'd said:

    1 Mbps to 10 Mbps, with 100+ Mbps not being unheard of.
