So we have to pay more again for them to advertise more and not improve the service (but we dont get served ads) err no thanks.
Wait untill you see how phorm speeds up your browsing experience im sure the insheep will love it.
That's not quite true.
We may pay more than other EU countries but we do that for almost all consumer products in the UK. This has much to do with out unwillingness to enter the EU monetary markets as a partner rather than an objector as it does to do with individual business practices.

Regardless of the fact that we pay more the hard truth is that we do not pay enough to allow the providers to make a profit and if you think that you have the right to take services without the provider making his end then you are naive.
If I built your house for you and after I gave you the price you then demanded that I still provide the house at that price despite the fact that you have added way more content to the design than the scope of the budget can manage would you still expect me to work at a loss? ( think torrent files )

I know it's a poor analogy but it is the area in which my business operates and one that makes sense to me.

I just think that people need to get a grip of reality some times. By all means object to things that are wrong but don't turn into guerilla activists disavowing all that you don't like for no other reason than you don't like it. Just be objective and be wary of making wild statements that bear no resemblance to fact, it just makes you look ill-educated and paranoiac in an area where there will be very well educated and informed minds waiting to pounce on such ill-informed rhetoric. ( this is not directed at Bonglet, just a comment based on my observation of some other comments made in the past, that I wanted to say generally )
