landline charge beef

I know they all do it, and say that it is because they have to pay BT for use of line, but I HATE PAYING MORE FOR LESS! I mean having to pay £10 pcm/£120 pa for a slower, less efficient service just because nobody has chosen to upgrade my local exchange. It is bad enough that 1000's of rural livers manage without gas and cable connections, but to be charged all this money just because we are victims of a postcode lottery is a big beef - esp. for a veggie! We are with Talktalk, but it would be the same with anyone, even with BT. All those people who benefit from the extra investment "they" (the providers) put in do so at my expense, yet I lose contact, wait forever or just have a generally poorer service
. frankly I think it stinks, but I feel marginally relieved for having shared it with you out there. Ta.:mad:
