This is horrendous.
It's for companies to provide a better service if that indeed need be the case.
This government is in desperate need of ousting -
Why aren't we taxing bankers and their associates? They caused the deficit they should pay not the citizens, which are seen more and more like a cashcow with each passing day.

Mark my words, it's the thin end of the wedge. Next step those with a fixed line telephone will be assumed to have broadband and therefore capable of receiving TV, so the TV licence fee will kick in.
Irrespective of whether they have either TV or computer.

Scorched earth by liebour - ramraiding all the ridiculous policies through before they get masacred next year to make life tough for the Tories.
Scum, the lot of them.

Great! I don't have broadband at home - its absolutely crap in my area - and I don't really need it either. I have found other things to do on weekends and evenings. Now I get dinged anyway, eventhough I don't want it.
Just great!

A broadband tax, which will see everyone with a fixed telephone line paying 50p extra a month, "will be law before the next election".
This is according to the Stephen Timms, the Minister for Digital Britain.
And when everyone says "Well it's only 50p, it will become £5, then £10...."

Blimey. Old news or what?
Does anyone else think that Stephen Timms looks a bit 'special'?
