"If Labor hadn't added speed tiers..."

And never mind the fact that speed tiers have been a part of broadband connections ever since ADSL was first rolled out to residential consumers in the middle of the last decade. When I got my first broadband connection in mid-2005, I had the option of 512/128kbps, 1.5Mbps/256kbps or 8/1Mbps.

A million UK homes still get crappy broadband speeds, groans Ofcom

Re: Why >10Mb/s?

Do you have more than one device (PC/laptop/console/tablet/smartphone/etc) that connects to the Internet? Do you have more than one person who uses said devices for gaming, video watching, web browsing, file downloading, or anything else?

Then you need fast Internet, especially given the way that the demand for bandwidth has been increasing pretty much everywhere for the last few years. It's a pity that the people in charge of providing said increases in bandwidth have turned out to be a pack of incompetent cockwombles, also pretty much everywhere.
