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.

Or move.

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.

They may only visit if it's not a simple switching back on of the previous line. Even if it requires a visit, you might get a contractor. If it's an Openreach bod, you'll get a pair quality test run, and that's about it.

Right. OK, thanks for everyone's advice. In other words, we are stuffed.

No. The only reason you think that is because you mistakenly believe your line is somehow unique. It isn't - it's just like everyone else's.
