8Mbit Broadband to Become Available in the UK

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the cheap-broadband dept.

UK Online is offering 8Mbit broadband service to the UK. The upstream is 400K, and there's a monthly download cap of 500GB, but at 40 pounds per month, plus 50 installation and a free wireless router in the package, that has to be among the best deals on offer from anyone.

    Fact 1: The new coalition killed _lots_ of civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq. They changed a totalitarian dictatorship imposing a foreign-driven regime, with muppets as candidates for the election.

    I believe foreign independence should be valued even above "democracy", in any country. The freedom of the people is among the most important values, but it should not be an excuse for taking away the freedom of the nation (and not giving freedom to the people).

    Fact 2: US soldiers tortured iraqi POWs using the same techniques the CIA have been using in South America and Central America for the last 35 - 40 years.

    Now the US says that some Osama Bin Laden guy killed 5000 people (Although that probably is the case, that's a fact brought to you by the same people who drove their country to war with the excuse of magically disappearing WMDs). Well, I believe that's really bad, and it shouldn't happen, but it isn't even in the same league as the other atrocities that followed.
