Topic: Tories: '50p levy will make people disconnect'

[Simon]

The UK needs to tells its tech companies to get their houses in order. I wonder how many people suffer poor connections and not realising what they should be getting.

That's a very good point.  If ISPs didn't over-subscribe, and therefore have to traffic shape and throttle connections, more people would be getting better speeds anyway.  We didn't get taxed (directly) for digital TV, so why this?

Because it's hard to raise the tax 'invisibly' as they did with digital TV.
