Simple economics dictates that not everybody can get rich. There has to be losers. We're all living on borrowed money. in 75% of cases the money we borrow doesn't even exist, except in the books of some overpaid accountant.
We'll all get rich and we'll all have nice houses, and drive nice cars and life will be swell (I can't believe I used the word "swell") right up until the bank forcloses and makes each and everyone of us it's bitch.

The banks ALWAYS win in the end.
Try explaining to my Father, or my grandmother the difference between kbps and KBps or even why they should care.
I know it's stupid but we need to do what CD-ROM drive manufacturers have done and call it 4X or 8X and measure it against a base rate of, say 56kbps.
TV ads for BTOpenworld Broadband already say that their connection is up to 10X faster, so why not adopt that as our unit of measure.
