coll ok mate, the problem i have is, we(household) have broadband etc from them, i weanted a second line(just for broadband) they said this cannot be done as you can only have one per household, is this true, if so anyway round it?

Thanks

Why would you need a second line?

Does sound a bit bizarre - why have 2 lines into the house, with one dedicated solely to broadband

If it is for multiple pc's use a router. I have the tv, phone, and a 10 meg connection all off the 1 cable connection, they dont slow each other down. They can be expanded a hell of a lot more, (more channels, quicker net speed) so you would never need a 2nd broadband connection.

thats what the routers for.
a 2nd line as you put it would need ot be a full line from the main cable into the property which would be megabucks.
you just need ot sort out a netwrok solution that suits your application

dot understand why it HAD to be someone who works for VM *shrug*

the 2nd line is for me and me only, the family use the excisting bb line, i just want one for me, so i can use the bandwith and not share it as i play 360 on line a lot and when people are downloading it slows it up etc.

 

[custard]

can you not limit BW to the other PC's or pay for a complete new line

now my question,do you pay for the BB?
if not then dont be so bloody greedy

 

[djvibsta]

thats what i wanted to do get a new line but virgin say i cant as they only provide one per house hold, i dont want to pay for a phone line(bt) and have a provider put bb down this as i dont need a phone line, just a bb line

Get a business line in?

 

[oilrag]

the 2nd line is for me and me only,etc.

Not much point, the whole thing slows down when the kids of the neighborhood get home from school, as its on a loop.

Why not get the 10mb service? It'll be 20mb by June...

we have 3 pc's that game online, phone and tv in our house (student pad) we just got the 10mb BB deal and we have no problems with games slowing down etc.

what BB connection have you got atm?

You can use the router to "control" the amount of bandwith that is being used. As Sway says "Up your speed"
