2 ADSL Lines at home

[Pho3nix]

Hi,
Know for business this happens but anyone have this in at home.
Possible?

Yes, the cable that telkom install into your house should have 4 wires, 2 for current use and 2 for future use.

All thy have to do is connect the second pair and assign it a number/account

So with my luck the line might be on the same exchange as the current line?

Most definitely.

However it could be on a different DSLAM....

Herein is my confusion. There is an MSAN 1km from me but I'm connected to one 3km in the opposite direction.

Was hoping this would get me on the other one, so I could eventually cancel the previous line.

Back to the drawing board

If that one you want to be isn't very full you could ask them to move you to that one.

Your 2 services are X and X.

On this diagram replace SDC1 with your MSAN. Now imagine SDC4 is geographically closer but the physical cable route cannot link you to it.

I get you.
So only way forward is to plead with Telkom to finish the MSAN they have 800m from my house, pretty sure the physical link is there because that is where my phone line is connected..(blue box is right next to the maybe MSAN)

Thanks for the explanation.
