"Of course a Ferrari is faster than a Ford," says BT CEO Ian Livingstone. "But most people are happy with a Ford."
You'd at least wish that executives would make their car analogies consistent. Back in 2003, Qwest's Utah President Jerry Fenn, when defending his company's opposition to municipal fiber and reliance on DSL asked: "Why provide a Rolls-Royce when a Chevrolet will do?" Comcast CEO Brian Roberts of course has had his own thoughts on that, likening cable broadband technology to a BMW, while insisting that DSL is a "Hyundai." Personally, we'd like an Aston Martin, please.

I don’t think people like to drive an A-Ford now days. Maybe it satisfies the factory that produces the A-FORD. If people was given the possibility to choose I think they rather drive at least a modern car. The experience from Sweden shows that people prefer fiber connections and good quality, if given the possibility.
