But I don't think you need *fast* broadband to get along in today's world. Sure, businesses have forms and payslips online now, and dial up can't do these forms properly or quickly, but the broadband we have now is fine for most people. There will be people for whom fast broadband would be needed, as it was said about the health industry. But most people would be fine with our current broadband.

Oh dear, sounds like I wouldn't do very well at an old KAOS party either - I get all my current events when I hear about them from someone else. I usually get enough interesting news just from what's going on in my friends' lives.
