Do you know if both BT Broadband and Virgin Broadband will work in the same home together ?

at the same time ? or do the two broadband services in a non-wireless way interfere with one another ?

Well I don't know for sure but I don't think it's possible to have two Broadband providers on the same copper from the exchange.

Isn't it two entirely seperate cables etc? - So no "conflict"

Disclaimer - I am a numpty on this sort of stuff, but 2 seperate cables, two seperate "modems", 2 seperate routers etc.......... 2 seperate SSIDs (if squirting wirelessly)

bogeyman obviously knows more - so ignore me!

Depends what kind of Virgin Broadband it is. If it's cable then it's entirely independent of the BT line. If it isn't cable then it's just ADSL, and I don't think you can have two telcos providing ADSL on the same line.

You can have both, as long as they are on seperate lines into the property.

If the Virgin service is via Cable and BT via the telephone line then there is no problem. Just configure the respective routers to use different SSID's / channels for the wireless bit and it should be fine. You will just have to pick which router you want each wireless device in the house to connect to.

If both are coming via the phone lines then you will need a dedicated line for each one. You can do this but it costs extra as you will have to pay BT to put an extra line into your house for it, pay line rental on both lines etc etc.

Just wondering why you would need to do this though, it sounds remarkably comlicated.

Business/personal account separation?

Doesn't make sense though. You can't claim back for the cost from the business unless you can show you wouldn't have it anyway. If that is the case then just use the one service and let your LTD allow personal use of the connection.

Excellent 50Mb/s (theoretical!) Virgin Broadband here we come. I want to keep the BT ADSL also ( I have my reasons ).
