More than 1 SACM
 

I have just rang NTL and asked for another SACM, they say yeah np but i have to buy form another source.

Is this true, why can't NTL supply me with 2 SACM's ??

Money isn't isn't an issue here, nor am i in debt with them....as a matter of fact i am £200.00 + in credit which is more than :welcome:

Cheers :):)

Re: More than 1 SACM
 

What are you trying to do with this second SACM?

a) have 2mb of bandwidth connected through appropriate hardware
b) connect a second PC / internet fridge to NTL

Re: More than 1 SACM
 

Well, to the best of my knowledge ( i could be wrong here) NTL don't like you sharing 1 connection, so i thought i would have 2 modems, 1 for me and 1 for my g/f.

Re: More than 1 SACM
 

Get a router and share it, I think (must check) that you can have 3 pcs on the same connection they just don't offer support for router issues

Re: More than 1 SACM
 

You can have up to three computers connected to a router to one connection if you wanted. 3 is an arbitrary limit set by ntl.

Re: More than 1 SACM
 

Thanks for the replies guys, but i would dearly love for to have a modem each.

So the question is, why can't NTL supply me with another modem.

As i said in my first post, money is not an issue.

Thanks :)

Straight from the horses ar.. I mean mouth
I think it's because they only allow one SACM to an address normally but I'm sure someone will tell you the right answer

Re: More than 1 SACM
 

its probably a billing issue LOL, as in they can supply you with it and charge you for it ( i.e. you would pay for a completely seperate connection ) but they cant put 2 broadband connections into the billing system for one house...

Re: More than 1 SACM
 

I know of people with more than one SACM at a single address, but they are on seperate bills.

ntl set my mates house up with 3 SACM's, but it is student accomodation and the 3 customers have seperate bills.

Having said that, ntl could give you a 2nd SACM and bill your G/F for it, but it is not a 'standard' offer, so you'd have to sak around to find the right person to set it up for you.

Re: More than 1 SACM
 

which area are you in?

yes you can have more than 1 modem at the same house but different billing accounts are needed in different names AFAIK

Re: More than 1 SACM
 

okies... well I phoned the local sales team who should of been able to help only to be told what you were told, 1 per house no exceptions. I kinda hit a brick wall with this to be honest. The only thing I can suggest you do is ring your local C/S and speak to a supervisior in their and see if they can do it for you. If you lived in the region I work in I would of been able to help you, but alas you don't :(

Sorry I couldn't be more help :shrug:

Re: More than 1 SACM

Will do as you say, can't do any harm hey?

Cheers my mate :):)
