Dude its an extra £72 a year pretty much everyone has broadband not because they have extra cash to throw around on luxurys but because the internet has become a bit of a necessity..Everythings done online.

Netflix isn't included with tv packages and I think most people living on the breadline simply use freeview.

Netflix isn't worth the fee imo.

It's not a necessity if every single last penny counts.

I don't know anyone who doesn't have broadband including people who live on universal credit and ESA.

To most people having internet access IS a necessity. Im currently off sick and I would go nuts if I had no broadband so imagine those who are stuck at home for long periods...It doesn't bare to think about lol.

The thing is just because someone has broadband Netflix is still an additional expense on top which most couldn't justify paying.

I never said it wasn't.

I was questioning why someone was including Broadband as the additional cost for Netflix, making it sound like they would need to get Broadband in order to have Netflix. If they already had Broadband for every other use and a TV package then they're already into "luxury" territory and not living on the bare bones of their arse. That's all.
