24 Mb Consumer Broadband Launched 389
twilight30 writes to tell us The Guardian is reporting that broadband provider "Be" is providing customers with the option of a 24 megabits per second download speed connection. These speeds are roughly three times the closest local competitor and also allow 1.3 megabits per second upstream, roughly five times quicker than any other service provider. The service is being offered at £24 (US $42.84) per month. Hopefully this will become a trend of radically increasing consumer internet speeds.

Other issues will be met on a case by case basis, however, I will also stop government handouts to corporations that already make billions.
These are my two platforms. I'm running on the green ticket, just because the other two parties don't represent me at all and Ralph Nader has been at times a personal hero for me. In addition, the other two parties seem completely beholden to the corporations that are getting government handouts.
I'm setting up a website now, I'll post the URL in a bit.

How to tell if you qualify for this (Score:3, Funny)
1. Open your window.
2. Lean out.
3. Stick out your tongue.
If you can lick the wall of your telephone exchange, then you qualify for this service. Otherwise you are unfortunately too far away.
Have a nice day
