Broadband at Two Locations

I once had a dial-up ISP with access allowed from two telephone numbers. Now I want to choose a Broadband supplier over BT telephone lines at TWO locations. I could be using the Internet at either location, but NOT both at the same time. Is this possible with a SINGLE Broadband contract, presuming that I take the modem with me? I have Desktop PCs at two locations but dual-point access must also be needed by folk with a laptop. Surely it is not necessary to pay for two SEPARATE Broadband contracts. Suggestions please.

    No, this is not possible.

    Yes, you would need two seperate contracts in this case - this is due to the way ADSL works being different to that of a dial up ISP.

    If one or both locations won't see "a lot" of usage you may want to consider a PAYG ADSL ISP like Metronet
