These internet speeds have to be a lie.
So ISP commercial the other day, was promoting Xfinity from Comcast.
They said that Centruy Link's going speed right now was at about 57 MBPS or so, in the 50s range.
Then Xfinity said that it's high-speed internet was going for several times that, and showed what I remember was 300 MBPS. I spit my drink out and laughed, there's no way common civilian accessible internet of that speed could be available, I've not heard of anyone before that had anything above 100 even.
Fill me in here guys.

Well most people are idiots and think that the number they see on the screen is the number they'll get. Every advert I've seen says you [b]COULD[/b] get [b]UP TO[/b] x speed but people just ignore those words and focus on the big number they're going to pay £30 a month for. And then they complain it's the company's fault when they don't get those speeds. Under ideal conditions you could get the sorts of speeds advertised but a lot of people won't get then because of factors out of the ISP's control, like the condition of the tech.
