Interesting to see, how "Wifi" got synonymous with internet access.
In my area at least, Comcast marketing is part of the problem. For years they blasted ads with "the fastest in-home wifi" and it took me many years to realize they weren't bragging about some fancy APs they were offering. Like I always just rolled my eyes and said who the fuck uses the router they give you anyway. But now it makes a little more sense.
