Actually, you raise a good point of discussion: But I'll argue that UK residential ISPs touting their highest-tiers as "proof" they're being competitive, even though only a tiny minority of punters shell out for it, as being self-serving and ultimately against the national interest. With Bugatti: people are buying an asset. You're paying for the quality of the engineering workmanship that goes into the final product - but once you've given your $1-3m over to Herbert Diess you're no-longer an ongoing concern to them, beyond the dealer's servicing fees - and your investment in a single vehicle means little to the road and highways infrastructure where you live - even if your jurisdiction implements vehicle-value-based property tax and road-usage-tax it won't mean much at the end-of-the-day - but with residential broadband it's something else...
