    I detest defending Comcast, but are you positive it was 1.2 Gbps and not 1.2 GBps? Because 1.2GBps is about 10 Gbps

      It’s 1.2 Gbps.

      I have the same plan. “Speeds up to 1.2Gbps (but you’ll never see more than 800Mbps)!”

      Yes I am positive. ISPs never list their speeds in bytes. Pretend to be a new customer signing up for service to see what they really offer if you want confirmation.
