2 x ADSL lines (lucky me - but what do u do with them?)
Well actually one's cable, but anyway...

I already have cable broadband in my house with a wireless router.
Now my company is installing a business landline in my house (home office), also with broadband.

I'd cancel my current broadband, but its part of quite a good package so it's worth keeping if i can use it!

So what the best way to setup these two connections? I have a wireless router, the new coneection will come with a wireless router. I will mainly be using a laptop with built in wifi. I've also got a wifi PC card somewhere.

So how do i go about this? Is it possible to use both at the same time and double my bandwidth?
Any ideas?

you could always get yourself a load balancing router, you can connect both modems to it and it will spread your internet usage across the 2 connections.

Potentially, I can get two internet connections in my flat...I am currently on Virgin media, but if I wanted (and I jsut might if Virgin is still as crap as it is!) I will enable my phone line and get ADSL put on that...would be nice to have two connections...I could have one as a server for uploads and the other just downloading...now did someone say pr0n?

Inspirational... guess it'll be two almighty pr0n servers then!

Might have a look into this load balancing business but i guess i'll just cancel the cable and save a couple of quid.

Cheers guys, you've been... er, helpful?

Now there's a though for getting some private revenue, we have spare broadband links and a couple of older servers here at work also....

You may want to ask your company to pickup the cost of your existing DSL (Cable) cost, of course that's not as much fun as having a load balanced router at home
