Kind of. It is the aspiration for 10Gb connections. They have been using the term well before those were a possibility even in a lab.

Yeah but they’re using 10G like “5G” is the argument being made rather than saying it’s a 10Gbps network

It’s just that I expected them to lie differently

...the company "makes available 10Gbps of Internet speed to 98 percent of its subscribers upon request."

...upon request? Forget aspirations, this sentence is breaking my brain
