According to British Telecom's CEO, DSL is like driving a Ford and really -- who isn't perfectly happy driving a Ford? Apparently, that Ferrari is starting to look more reasonable. BT's CEO should have used a Jaguar(made in the UK) in his example instead of a Ferrari.

BT's CEO should have used a Jaguar(made in the UK) in his example instead of a Ferrari. And at least Mercedes-Benz instead of Ford. Mercedes starts very cheap in the EU and at least the Benz is German, instead of American(thus supporting the EU).
