Broadband Salesman Greentext

Text on the meme

> salesman for a new ISP rings my doorbell incessantly > i open > they say they have a fast broadband connection > i ask if it's actually fiber or coax again > they don't understand > i pull out an illustrated diagram explaining the difference between fiber and coax > they laugh and respond "it's good broadband, ma'm" > i subscribe with a 18 month contract > it's coax again

What it means

A greentext-style post describes an overly technical customer questioning an ISP salesman about fiber versus coax internet, only to sign an 18-month contract and discover it is coax again. The joke is the narrator’s obsessive technicality and inevitable frustration at being fooled by vague broadband marketing.
