They also think they invented the internet.
I don't think this is a bad thing. The standard for what people consider 'broadband' has changed drastically since the days when it was anything over 150Kbps. Or 28Kbps modems were considered 'fast'

Even Facebook would take minutes to load at that bandwidth now.

We here have a similar definition in the UK anyway for 'next-gen broadband' which started off at 25Mbps+ as well. They may have left out the 'next-gen' part but then they also have a far higher proportion of people connected to FTTx services and a far lower proportion of DSL users.

Perhaps he was more hinting at how they seem to think they own the internet.
