I had the privilege of camping a few years back near Dulverton, quite a bit out of town on the moors, and the sky was unbelievable then. I could see stars in areas of sky I would usually in Bristol have seen as dark. Breathtaking. On the down side, a town near me recently started turning of the street lamps at night, and there was a fatal road accident which was proven to be caused by the lack of lights. Leading up to this incident were a string of near misses.

I dont know what the people complaining about bandwidth are moaning about, so limit the downloads if you feel you have to make a fuss about it. You cant stream the content to the iPlayer anyway, it's a straight download and then watch. As far as I can see its another way for the UK ISP's to grab more money from the UK consumers. We get a really bad deal here compared to the US market, and the ISP's use any excuse to wring even more money from us. They just want to excuse another price hitch.
