Have you bought the house yet, or offered on it? If you can get the phone number of the house, that will give you a more reliable speed indication. You could even ask the current owner what speed they get.

Provided it really is 2Mb, any standard-definition iPlayer or Youtube content should stream no problem, and Skype will be fine too.

We regularly video-Skype with friends in Australia over a connection that never gets faster than 2.5Mb and there's never any bother.
