    Then give me a related analogy you would accept and I’ll easily twist it into a misleading comparison exactly the article did.

    How about this, “British Telecom develops high speed internet 1700x faster than previous Internet service technology. Availability is today!”

    The above statement is completely true.

    Comparing to home Internet when it isn’t home Internet technology is misleading. Ignoring that there are already faster optical Internet speeds in other labs around the world is misleading.

        Except that isn’t the case here. It’s completely different technology that transfers the data. So it’s comparing a train to a car.
