On a recent "TWiTcast" the high ranking ComCast representative who maintains a Twitter (no relation) feed for high profile ComCast technical presence made a guest appearance. In literally the first full sentence out of his mouth he referred to something like a 20 megabytes per second consumer service offering. I was floored, though the panelists all let it slide.

Statements that are off by EIGHT TIMES don't bother you in the least?
He's "brilliant"? Maybe so, but he certainly did not come off that way during the episode. How do you make that judgment -- are you related?
