You're looking for a new place to live, and you've found a marvellous place - beautiful location, surprisingly good transport when you consider the lovely views, and it's got electricity, gas and water. Compared to other places you've looked at with similar qualities, it's pretty cheap.
In fact, it's really desirable, and you've got very little time before you have to move out of where you are.
But wait a minute - what about the internet? You ask the owner, who explains that while it does have broadband, in common with pretty much everywhere in Britain, due to a peculiarity of the phone lines you'll never get more than 1 megabit per second. It's not enough for iPlayer or online gaming.
What do you do - accept it, abandon it, beat them down on price, pray for a better connection... what?
