    Virgin - more than one line

    Is it possible? Say I wanted 2 internet lines (with separate bills / different speeds), do they allow it?

    I'm fairly sure they don't, but I can't find nothing on-line saying so for certain. What about if one was a business line? Any different?

    best i would say is give them a ring. don't think they would as it would mean another feed from the street end cab. so even if they do it would probably cost a fair bit in install charges. why need moar speed than 50MB

    yes it is possible and can be done via 1 coax but I don't know if they would actually do it or not.

    I have done it with O2 and Virgin in the past, i think the thread is still here.

    **EDIT**
    Here it is.

    http://forums.hexus.net/networking-b...-pictures.html

    I ended up getting about 2 mbps up once I fixed the issue. Annex M ADSL will actually give me 2.5 up here so i got two of those lines in I coul dget 5mbps up.

    Yes it possible. But no we don't do it.

    we only allow 4 digital services per house. 4 set top boxes or 3 set top boxes and 1 broadband. Only ever 1 broadband per property.

    The only way around is to spilt your property legally.. IE 2 separate council tax bills = 2 separate properties. If you live at number 20 and you can convince royal mail to setup 20A, then virgin will supply 2 Broadband connections.

    The only other thing i can think of is going 50Mb and using QOS controls on the WRN2000 router to limit a connection to the wifi to a certain speed.

    I knew it was technically possible - gutted they don't offer it though.
    The QOS isn't a major issue and I can do this with ease, it's more simplification of billing and liability of downloaded content.

    Can you confirm if this is also the case for a business line from VM?

    Cheers
