If you only have 15 mins, then even having 2 meg to get it quickly surely won't be enough to d/l & install etc?

Having said that, I don't personally feel that there is a need for a 2 meg service with a 1 gig cap-if you just want to browse quickly, then there isn't that much difference between browsing at 512k & browsing at 2 meg IMO.
Ring, ring. pause, ring, ring, pause, ring, ring.

Hi John, glad I cought you before you left for the meeting. I have just found that report that we need but haven't a cat in hells chance of downloading it with my slow connection, can you get it on yours.

No problem Neil, just got enough time to do it before having to leave for the station. Thank god for my 2Mb, could never have done it on 512k. We can have a look at it on my notebook whilst on the train.

Maybe not an everyday requirement but for £14.99 a month it is worthwhile having 2Mb available for that rare occasion that you may need the speed. Cheaper than some dialup connections and always on. What some people don't appreciate is that having a fast connection doesn't mean that you have to use it to the max all the time or even any of the time but the speed is there if ever needed.
