Are you on a "fixed 2mb" or "up to 8mb" service? Because if its the former, then your exchange does support an "up to 8mb service" (ADSL Max) and provided you don't live too far (<5km) from your exchange you should get speeds higher than 2mb on the ADSL Max service.
As for choosing a quality isp at a fair price, i suggest you consider NewNet. For around 20 notes pm you will get a top quality isp who don't shape or throttle traffic at peak items ie max speeds your line is capable of 24/7 provided there is no congestion at your exchange. The downside is that you are only allowed 20gb pm downloads BUT offpeak downloads are unmetered so you could ask your son to schedule large downloads at these off peak times whilst using the connection for general browsing during peak times.0 -
It's an up to 8mb line but the last speed test I did before getting caapped was just over 2mb speed.I have a cunning plan!
Proud to be dealing with my debts.0
