badlad Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I am currently using BT for my broadband, but I could do with an additional broadband line into the house, does anyone know if any providers offer a 2nd line deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamer Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 This is an option that I would not mind exploring too :Smiler: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I don't know any ISP that will do two broadband lines into the one house and BT will charge an arm and a leg for a 2nd line. The are some Business ISP provides that will do two or more lines but this will cost a lot too. I have a mate that does the BT & cable broadband this is the best way for the home I think. The cable broadband is by the TV and is used for Gaming and Streaming media (has no wireless) And the adsl line has wireless and is used by the Desktop and laptop for Downloading and browsing.

Jamer Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I called BT tonight, they want an extra £21 that includes another line and option 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Jamer when I ask BT about this I got told it will cost me £150 as work outside and inside my home will have to be done (This is for a true 2nd line run into my home) The is a thing BT can do thats a line splitter (two numbers and two sockets BT call this a 2nd line and this is about £20-£25) BUT this will not give you better broadband you will not get a 2nd broadband on this type of set-up as the will be a MAC tag on the 2nd line from the 1st ISP.

Alloneword Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 What about "bonding" a line i know some ISP's do it but not to sure if it's a totally fresh line or how that works but might be worth looking into it. All1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
