It is well known that the essential norm of a Toeplitz operator on Hardy space Hp(T), 1<p<∞ greater than or equal to L∞(T) its symbol. In 1988, A. Böttcher, N. Krupnik, and B. Silbermann posed question whether not equality holds in case continuous symbols. We answer this negative. On other hand, we show T(a) with symbol less 2|1−2p|‖a‖L∞.
