I guess they could be gaining by publishing this so it calms down those who are already on the maximum tier but are not happy and might switch to a different provider that can offer more?

Since Comcast offers gigabit, I doubt there are many people who are itching to switch to something faster than that.

They have what, an offering of gigabit to 5% of the market? I must quickly call everyone and shout about how unbelievably impressive this is.

From what I hear the upload is just laughable even on the gigabit plans, and the data caps don’t help either.
