That is only how they bill it.  The definition of full-duplex is that you can send an receive simultaneously.  If they say 100 Mbps means the total of send + receive, that is half-duplex.  Since they are clearly confused, tell them to buy a dictionary (since using BING is clearly beyond them).

It should difficult for anyone to argue "X != X".  That said, if anyone could argue such a thing, it would be a telephone company technician....
