This is the best summary I could come up with:

An advertising industry group urged Comcast to stop its “10G” ads or modify them to state that 10G is an “aspirational” technology rather than something the company actually provides on its cable network today.

Comcast isn’t alone in its use of the 10G term, which was unveiled in January 2019 by cable industry trade group NCTA-The Internet & Television Association.

Further, NAD determined that the evidence in the record was insufficient to support the broad, unqualified message that the “Xfinity 10G Network” is vastly superior to 5G.

But a Gigabit Pro fiber connection is not available to all homes in Comcast’s cable territory, and it costs $299.95 a month plus a $19.95 modem lease fee.

Comcast started offering cable upload speeds as high as 200Mbps late last year, but only if you bought the $25 per-month “xFi Complete” add-on that included a gateway rental.

Comcast notified customers a few months ago that it was removing the xFi Complete requirement for higher uploads as long as you have a compatible Xfinity gateway or third-party modem.
