[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1130563, member: 73592"] Is it worth pointing out that the initial discussion on broadband speeds was an objection to "broadband" being an essential service. But the lowest necessary speed proposed by the person who objected to that, most definitely includes "broadband" being an essential service. I know of no dial-up connection that runs an full order of magnitude faster than a dial-up connection. Then it's just a discussion of what speed of broadband is essential, especially in a world of work-from home. and whether video streaming is essential for work from home (answer - yes it absolutely 100% is - for some jobs). There's also the element of future-proofing. Absolutely nobody has suggested super-fast broadband as being essential. The argument seems to be 500kbs broadband vs 2mbs broadband - both of which are broadband, neither of which are superfast. Surely that puts the original question to rest. [/QUOTE]
