1 ISP Accounts with two seperate routers

[brettsacks]

Hi all...

I've recently come across the prices for a particular ISP's ADSL bundles. For one of the accounts, specifically, the 4mb unshapped line, you're allowed to connect using the account details twice (as part of the package).

My question comes from this... If I have two different households with two seperate routers each connecting using the same ISP accounts details:

1) Can I connect like this?
2) What will the effect on speed be? Halfed?

Thanking you guys in advance.

they don't really half it , but with 2 connected you will end faster in the throttle zone

Thanks for the quick response...

So, you reckon I'll be getting the 4mb speed in the two seperate locations?

What do you mean that I'll end up faster in the throttle zone?

 

[Gtx Gaming]

throttle zone= to much data used, they limit you do about 384 speeds.

yes should get 4mb on both sides

Ok cool...

I read that if you in the top 50% of bandwidth users on the 4mb line then it's a problem... Is this the throttle zone?

How much data is throttle zone data? haha

Thanks

 

[Gtx Gaming]

yes that is the zone.

if heard people go up 250gb even , im not sure, don't have one of these accounts

 

[brettsacks]

This all sounds too good.

What's stopping people from purchasing this account and sharing it between two people?

You end up paying R412 per month (inclusive of line rental) for a 4mb UNSHAPED & uncapped line... Little bizarre?

 

[Gtx Gaming]

because sometimes the throttle zone happen as early as 20gb

 

[brettsacks]

Oh okay.. It's pretty messed up because it's dependant on what everyone else is doing... Interesting..

And, you say you drop down to 384kb?

Is there any way to see what the throttle zone is at during the month

 

[Gtx Gaming]

yeah your given a rating from 1 to 5 stars, 5 being the best.

ya think is about 384 speeds

Look for the number of concurrent connections. If the number of concurrent connections is one, you will only be able to use it at one property at a time. Also some ISPs love to port-lock your account, which means that its locked to the first port that you use it on. This means that it won't work from any other account, some ISPs are nice enough to allow you to disable this setting. Others are not and completely refuse, or otherwise force you to phone or email them and ask them to reset it for you. They do this under the guise of improved security.
