I bet the cable bill for the TV I'm not watching, which is mandatory in order to also get broadband in my area, costs as much as a lisence fee. And anyway, I thought iPlayer was by broad groups of IPs, so you don't actually have to pay for TV to use it.

Oh, yes yes. iPlayer is just on the BBC website, so it's free. :)

And it sounds like your internet deal really sucks :( Can't you get broadband just on its own? Or does it have to be carried by the cable in your area?

I can't afford to move to the city. There's only one company's cables running all the way out here, and everything else is phone lines. There's satellite that might be faster, except for when it doesn't work because of bad weather or interruption from airplanes and stuff, which is probably all the time anyway. Plus I don't like there being any more things beaming around than there need to be.

Yeah, these things could fry your brain.
And ooooh. :( that DOES suck. They keep on promising the world this great technology, but somehow no one ever seems to be able to get past the small print!
