...is a U-verse subscriber who's freaking out because he can't let his friends know how shitty the service was at McDonalds this morning. Right now he's thinking "They'll never get to hear me say 'Forget the McMuffin, how about some McPoliteness?'"

After all, AT&T charges some of the highest rates for internet access in the world, and it's very slow. I assumed that this was because all the money was going into rock solid reliability instead of speed. Right? Right?

  Obviously the CEO is using reliability via redundancy. If he has 10 fast Italian cars, he's got a decent chance that at least one works at any given time.

  I suspect that the CEO lost his N+2 italian car redundency, and placed his best techs on solving the problem, rather than maintaining the u-verse service.

  Redundant Array of Expensive Ferrari's?
  
  How would that work if it broke down whilst he was driving? will he need to tow the other 9 Ferrari's to ensure that he has the ability to failover at any time?
