Can anyone advise me as to which ISP and service I should be looking at? I need an uncapped account with 2 or 3 concurrent logins possible and maybe the option of a static IP. There seems to be loads of uncapped offerings but none of them offer more than 1 concurrent login.

Cheers

Um - 2 or 3 uncapped simultaneous users is the same as 3 different users each on one uncapped account. Now, if you were the ISP, would you allow 3 different users to use the same uncapped account at the same time, thereby loosing out on 2 user's business ?
 
Is it possible to use more than one account on a ADSL line e.g. Connect 2 ADSL Routers with 2 seperate account details on the same line...?

That way, saving R 600 for another Telkom ADSL line.
 
Set up and old (even PII will work) PC which connects to the adsl service - activate internet connection sharing via a hub to the other 3 PC and they all will have service on the same line
 
Its possable to login with 2,3,4,5 ect. ISP's with 1 router / hub combo thing. I dont know what it is with this two router idea with people but you CANNOT connet 2 routers to the same line, they will interfere with eachother and then you end up with none working. Btw how will you be saving R600? If its the same line the two connections will use the same line and the speed would be shared but still be a total of 512k or whatever you have.

Technically speaking it is possible, your line has 4 copper cables, ADSL requires 2.

But methinks there is some wierd standard in place that will not allow this to be done.
 
EmpireH, just connect ADSL Router to switch and connect every user to switch. Works perfect, can even let Windows do everything for you with Dynamice IP's etc., if Router supports it, 99% does...
 
Alkine - Ok, I though the ADSL physical line maybe had no limit, only the account, as far as I know Telkom monitor the account and not the line...

That's why they disable acounts, that's being used by more than one router.
 
See man - I really carent read.

2 Aspects to ADSL - the physical connection, and the data connection.

The physical connection is 2 copper cables, one side plugged into an ADSL modem/router, the other side plugged into a DSLAM as the exchange.

The data connection consists of a PPOE transmission of data. The PPOE transmission must include the security id so that the AUTHENTIFICATION server will accept the transmission, otherwise it is rejected.

That's it.

So - down the same line, several PPOE packets of data can be running up and down with different security id's without any problems at all.

But the basics still remain - ONE MODEM/ROUTER + 2 COPPER CABLES + DSLAM POINT + PPOE PACKETS + AUTHENTIFICATION SERVER = ADSL.

So - basically, how many different types of PPOE packets you can send down the line depends on the capabilities of your ADSL MODEM/ROUTER.

Me clearer this time ?
 
Stoke - Thanks, so physically it's impossible....for each account I must add an additional ADSL line if I don't want them to share the performance?
 
Yup, but beware - teklom are going to introduce 1GB/s ADSL soon, and that may be wide enough for your requirements. Of course - no date is established/mentioned/thought about - just hype.
 
Ok, will probably wait for 1GB, hope not to long....don't want to give Telkom another R 600 p/m

GURU - 2 reasons why I want 2 seperate accounts running:

- It is for 2 seperate users/businesses.
- Both require the whole 50kbps download speed ADSL "512" provides, ....so don't want to influence each other's performance.
 
GURU - O yes, the two business (me and friend) share an office. But as said, the usage and cap must be seperate due to company policies from both. So any idea on sharing that one Business ADSL line @ R699? We already each have our own ADSL Router, but I think mine can run more than one account similtaneiously......otherwise we can plug both in, but main thing is whether Telkom ADSL line will share the performance or give each it's 50kbps?

1 GB/s, sign me up!!!!! (think you meant 1 mb/s ;) )
 
I know for a fact that TEL have already tested ADSL 1mb/s, 128kb/s & 64kb/s
So it should not be that long before it is available.

PS. Does not matter how you share the ADSL line betrween the 2 offices, the line is capted on the speed (512Kb/s total, not for each modem/router).
The accounts (ISP) will cap the amount of data transfered (e.g. 3Gig each account)
