BT Wants Cash For iPlayer, Video Bandwidth

eldavojohn writes "British Telecom is asking for more money for the bandwidth that iPlayer and video streaming sites eat up. The BBC's Tech Editor is claiming that 'Now Britain's biggest internet service provider is making it clear that, in a cut-throat broadband market, something is going to have to give — and net neutrality may have to be chucked overboard.' The BBC and BT are currently already in talks over how to get past this together. This might sound like a familiar battle from over a year ago."

    I guess that explains your poor grasp of some basic english words then. Words such as "entire".

    1: having no element or part left out : whole
    2: complete in degree : total
    3 a: consisting of one piece b: homogeneous, unmixed c: intact

    30% of a comment does not constitute the whole or total.
    You also mention that some of your words are irrelevant and say that I am off topic.

    Irrelevant:
    having no bearing on or connection with the subject at issue;

    Off topic:
    Not related to the matter under discussion

    In case you did not notice, the topic at hand in this little thread is your post about burning down a building and then your claims of being misunderstood and slamming an AC when they disagree with you. If you can't defend your posts against contradictory viewpoints without complaining that people are off topic or ignorant, then blogging might suit you better than forums.
