How long is a etc etc!

2 seems a good starting point. Would be nice for her to be able to use iplayer and other catch-up services, and all manner of other data-hungry things.

I thought the checker suggested 2? You could always get a 2nd line and bond for 4 at twice the cost.

You really need to order it and see what you get as it appears there are no current plans for any upgrade.

With 1.5mbps I was able to use youtube, iPlayer, 4OD etc... HD streaming was obviously a pipe dream but I could use VOD services.

BBC iPlayer requires a minimum of 500kbps to stream TV.
