    Do you actually want 2 broadband accounts or are you trying to get 2 computers connected to broadband?

    What are the problems you are having with wireless? Setting up your own wireless internal network is a much cheaper way of using broadband over multiple computers. If you wanted broadband on both your lines you would need to pay two subscription fees to the supplier of your broadband service, one fee for the first line and another fee for the second line.

    Maybe Broadband Over Power Line (BPL)

    i just really want my laptop to go wireless,but i have had so much trouble,i can see my network name on my laptop,but when i try to connet it does nothing,this is the 2nd laptop i have tried,i phone aol for help in the end they put me on hold as i think they have run out of ideas to try.

    so i thought the other option was 2 bb's but it might work out expensive.

    Or you can use wired network instead of wireless

    Give Wireless another go. 2x adsl connections is a little extreme. Wireless can be tricky but there are plenty of us here that can walk you through it.
