You can remotely command your home PC to download a movie, and it will do that download at 20Mb, but if you then want your PC to serve it to you at your parents house, it will only be able to transfer it to you at 768Kb as that is the upstream speed on your Virgin 20-meg service. This is a little slower than the 1Mb download available at your parents house. As I said eariler, you will only be able to do anything at the speed of the slowest point in the network and in this scenario the slowest point is your own computer's upstream speed.

768kb I would guess is unlikely to be sufficient to view a movie or TV programme in real time.
