> Regarding remote desktop it may not use much bandwidth but my connection is certianly struggling to handle it

You certainly have a problem with your connection then. I regularly control my 24x7 machine using LogMeIn via Vodafone mobile broadband - from memory it uses only ~ 100 kbps and certainly apart from limited colours it isn't much different from sitting at home. You wouldn't be able to watch movies on it obviously as the refresh rate for that is far too slow.

IMO Ofcom worry far too much about headline speeds (ie sync rates on ADSL) and not enough about hidden download caps and evening slowdowns due to contention.
