Internet Tax - SV650.org

I cant help but think that the internet media tax we are all being expected to pay soon is because of DRM. BT complaining due to lack of bandwidth, DRM causing issues with multicast so its mostly unicast everywhere.

They're going to tax the internet in order to support an outdated and failing business model...

oh right that is bad.

British broadband services are terrible.. in comparison to even Eastern European countries, our speeds are WAY down. And have been for some considerable amount of time.. perhaps because we take the sh*t service we're givien.

Seriously, why tax the internet.. isn't there enough taxes already?

And the internet has died in the last year or so, especially with all the "you used a song for a video of your cat. YOU ARE STEALING AND COSTING US MONEY" crap, it's dreadful...

Greed will end the internet, simple as...

And they put petrol back up to over £1/l.. and have the cheek to charge us to look at virtual pages. Oh the cheek.......

What is the point of having super fast internet when they stop you file sharing?

Exactly, 50 Mbit speeds and a 10 Gig or less cap, just watch!

Every time Brits get something new, we bend over and take it up the .... when it comes to pricing. As the government(s) have been doing it for years buisnesses think they can too.

People share files? When did that happen...

How can they tax a service they fail to provide to a good level of quality?

Our Virgin Media is good for like 2 hours during the day, the rest its snail speed.

Well the tax will be on phone lines. Good, my phone is VoIP delivered across my cable internet. so no tax for me.

I do feel for those poor sods who cannot get ADSL (like me), but have no alternative provider(unlike me). Pay the tax on their phone line and no broadband
