Re: Speed 256/256

said by keyboard5684:

You will see speeds advertised as "256/256" and thats it. There will be no more 5MB/5MB unless you pay for the "high tier".

What about advertising "5x faster than DSL"?
Or how about "Coke taste better than Pepsi"?

Advertising is advertising and unless they are lying then why force them to change there terms?
You mean like Time Warner Cable is claiming DirecTv is doing with their alleged "better than cable" HD ads?

What ever happened to the buyer beware? or better yet... read before you buy?

Of course cable companies never, EVER put out misleading commercials, right?

*Looks over to the Charter HSI commercial playing on his TV advertising their 3mb service and their comparing it to 256k DSL*
