One house, two BT phone lines ... 2 broadband lines?

migwella76

Hi all,

I run a business from home.

I have a home telephone line and a business telephone line.

Can I have 2 broadband lines? Lets say I have Sky broadband for my home telephone line and Wanadoo broadband for my business line?

I appreciate that wireless is possible, but it is more about keeping my business line and home line separate. For my home line we download a lot

Thanks
Mike

yeah just use a router (wired or wireless) to one of them and then your calls are still seperate......no need for 2 BB contracts.....even if you download alot what your going to need to do will have very little impact

but yes you can have two BB accounts as long as the phone lines are seperate numbers

Two lines and one BB service and share internet access. BT home hub has a phone AND a hands free phone on the BB circuit.....

Can't see the point - unless you want to monitor the volume that's being downloaded. The broadband won't affect your phonecalls so there's no point in having 2 separate broadbands - spend the money instead on increasing the speed of your broadband link and/or the download cap.

While you are doing that you might also want to consider going towards VOIP so that you wouldn't need 2 phone lines

With the scenario you described, i'm going to say no... on the basis of neither Wanadoo or Sky, allow their broadband service to be used for "Business"



cheapest things to do, is have 1 bt phone line, 1 decent ISP, and then a VOIP provider, which will give you a local geographical rate phone number (https://www.sipgate.co.uk) and then you just need a voip phone to plug into your router.

with sipgate, it is a PAYG service, and you don't get charged line rental
