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.

Re: Will the UK ever have high speed broadband?
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.....
