I have seen this before at a previous home where I had fiber based IPTV and internet access long before the marketing people were pushing it. The webpages are the worst place to look as they aren't current or are just wrong. First or second level tech support is where the real knowledge is. By the way, "GB" is shorthand for "gigabyte" (1024 ^3 bytes). Bandwidths for internet service providers are generally specified in terms of nominal gigabits per second. There are 8 bits to a byte so quoting in units of "GB" means you are off by a factor of 8. Full disclosure: I studied Computer Science in Graduate School.
