Need better broadband ultimately

It's quite nice what these fancy TV's can do with their inbuilt everything nowadays (no I'm not an old git, but haven't bought a tv in over 12 years (due to not using one).

However the age old question is the majority of the broadband in this country is simply not suitable for it down to the silly "peak" limits put on. A program a day might just be enough to take it over, along with the regular usage of it in normal circumstances. I can just see how many people are going to go over and find out they've got a bit more of an internet bill than they thought.

I'd like freeview over internet if I had a decent broadband package, as I simply can't get a signal in my flat any more, landlord wont do me an outside external aerial. But I come close to my peak limit by watching a program, or two half hour ones daily off the non-download catch up sites.

We need a restructuring service where things like internet TV (through certain sites/devices) are simply ignored in the download limits. Then things might actually take off.
