For the briefest of moments, I got fucking jazzed that I might be able to get a 10Gbps connection at my home. Those hopes were quickly dashed when I looked it up and discovered that it was nothing more than a marketing term promising some unnamed 'faster speed' at some unknown point in the future.

Yep their ”10G” is "up to 1Gbps", so 100 MB/sec at the best. I did the same thing.
