Also worth considering is to upgrade the subscription to unlimited internet access.

thinking of "flat rate."
Flat rate isn't available in every country.
Irrespective of cost, sometimes heavy downloading can eat into a
connection's bandwidth and kill the connection for everyone else. In fact, upgrading to a flat rate plan encourages this kind of behaviour more.
It's not like you are going to wear out the wires or the world will run out of bits. What you need is to encourage your ISP to provide capacity at a reasonable price. Some places do, some don't. On the other hand, unexpected bandwidth usage may indicate that you have a virus on the LAN or some peer-to-peer fileshare has accidentally been enabled.
