And pay ultra-high taxes? No thank you! VAT in Sweden is charged at 25%. Just think what that would do to the price of everything you bought last time you went out shopping, or bought some new kit for your PC.

We won't see anything like this here unless BT decide to upgrade to fibre-optic lines - which isn't something we should count on anytime soon...unless you happen to be living in one of the areas where they'll be doing that very thing and trialling high-speed connections in the autumn of next year..... ;)

But im sure that the prices of thing would be lower, for example, their internet?

Yes, they are available in some areas - for a five figure rental per year.
