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.
