Comcast advertising once compared their coax speed to DSL. So that consumers did not notice FIOS was always faster. So that consumers did not notice that even S Koreans had five times faster internet for 40% of their price.

DSL is no longer offered. So Comcast needed a new bogeyman. Coax cable companies are now forced to dedicate more frequencies to up their internet bandwidth since FIOS was always faster. And they have no competition that is slower.

They are advertising that they always could have provided faster internet for less money. They only admit they are now faster - and hope you still ignore their outrageously overpriced billing.
