Just read on The Register that government will be introducing a 50pcm landline duty on everyone even if all you have is broadband regardless of whether your with BT, Virgin or another supplier.
The actual consultation can be found here.
My main gripe is those that have a landline only (no internet) will still have to pay even though the so-called tax is for super-fast broadband way, way in the future. Personally, I think this is unfair - basically taxing everyone even though they may not have, nor want/need, the internet!
