Happy birthday Brian, I wish you many more happy ones.
Maybe I'm making a bad assumption but it sounds like only your partner's son
is using the ADSL. A cheap switch or router would let you both use it.
Unless one of you is trying to download huge files from a high speed source,
you'll never know the other one is using it at the same time. ... um just
remembered something, when that person in the other room is playing some of
the online games, it can get slow.
A typical/common switch:

A typical/common router:

Again best wishes,
Jeff Keller

Turned out that I needed in-line filters to filter-out the high-speed data
created through the ASDL broad-band connection of my partner's son who,
it turns out, is using the same line. It was seriously corrupting the
low-speed
data of my machine and causing an annoying buzz on the voice-phone.
$81 later ( call-out fee) and $18 for the filter, and I have trouble-free
connectivity, even if slow by the standards of most people.
