I think it is just a misunderstanding but the advertisement really can misleading consumers to think and expect different thing.

It did advertise can get upto 10mbps but not advertise can get average 5+/- mbps around at any coverage location.... So I think you must justify it carefully.

Look at the bright side, it offer 7 days trial with refund so if you not happy with it just cancel the subscription will do.

Always ask for trial period with refund for new technology ^^...

Gigabit ehternet is hardware to hardware connection via wired ethernet cable while WiMax is a wireless technology and is not a wired connection so there must be grey area where defenitely wired conectivity is more stable than wireless connectivity

Well if you ask me I find that the current trend of ISP Broadband providers in MY nowadays like to advertise this kind of gimmick trick to captivate the consumers' attention by displaying theoritical formula calculated speed so that the layman can gain interest and go to their company to seek more detail info about it. Maybe is some sort of marketing strategy I presume...

Even D?G? also using the similar tactics also claims can "get consistent speed with our advanced 14.4Mbps HSPA network and generous usage volume so you’ll keep on smiling." ....but practical results comes out is different from theoritical calculation. At least they show out the comparison with practical average speed with theoratical actual speed ^^

We all also hope for fibre optics connectivity but they always like to delay this delay that and the BIG question is HOW LONG we need to WAIT...?
