I asked last year about this and they told me they could only provide one line to the address

We wanted 2 lines in because we had 7 people living in the same property who download / stream a lot, but they still said no

Also it would have to go through a credit score process, which I'd expect includes the existing account's payment history etc, and I would hope a capacity check too.

Ah that's okay then. I'm fine on both bits there. I might ring up and ask.

thanks for the advice!

so if I live in a detached house, am the account holder and have a mint credit score I can have a second line? I have said many a time before that my area is excellent for utilisation so that shouldn't be a problem either. Sounds like an awesome plan because the most I can get from fttc is 56mbits so I am pretty much screwed until fttp becomes available. Having 2 modems delivering 240mbits is a super idea and might be a new marketing gimick you want to suggest Ben. I can see it being very popular.

Yes that's how I understand it I am going to ring tomorrow and ask about it.

General Maximus · 27-09-2013, 20:24

cool, let me know how it goes

27-09-2013, 20:28

I will do. If it's as straightforward as Ben says I should be able to come back with another install date. I'm the account holder i have a house and i've never missed a bill so all should be good. My credit rating is certainly higher than it was when I took out VM, It was very bad then but they still took me on bless them!

I've been looking at a piece of kit a user called Ignitionnet recommended. Incase you were interested

thanks, Igni defo knows his stuff so I would strongly consider any equipment he recommends. Just be aware that it looks more like an enterprise level/managed router which will probably need a lot more configuration than the standard routers we use at home. On Cisco routers you have to configure dhcp pools, set ip addresses, routes, turn the ports on or off etc, I don't know how much of that you'll have to do with this one. Might need a quick google.

What'd be wrong with that?

jb66 · 28-09-2013, 18:11
