Im wondering is it possible to have two different broadband =-
connections-
using one phone line in one house? I dont wanna use a wireless router
to share connections.-
I never heard of that working. But you can use Home PNA on the same =
phone line as DSL. As it using an existing phone line as a networkin
=
bus. Thus no need for wireless. By the way, can I ask why you don'
want =
to go wireless? Security perhaps? If so, WPA encryption is pretty toug
=
to hack into.

Cheers!

I dont want to go wireless because my brother constantly downloading
and it effects the speed of it when i share the connections from i
using a router. I was thinking one broadband for working and one fo
entertainment such as downloading and playing online PS2 games. So i
there any possible ways of using two seperate broadband with one phon
line, if not, could you tell me why its not possible to do so. Thx

In a word, no.
For the same reason that pigs can't fly. It just doesn't work that way.
More specifically, nobody has yet designed any equipment that will do that.
The current equipment uses all of the available bandwidth for just one line.
It is possible, however, that newly discovered technology might make that
possible in the future. IMHO, that is not likely because I think there
would be a VERY limited market since a router works just fine in most
situations.
You probably could get your provider to bring in a second DSL, maybe even
without a second "voice" line. |

Well, yes, it can. But if he's constantly downloading at full
bandwidth, I'll expect him to attract some very unpleasant
attention from your ISP. But this is unusual, and even then
only slows things down ~2x.
It's uploading that causes more trouble, more of the time.
A single unthrottled P2P filesharer can just hose out the
connection (Very high latency). Downloads stop even when
there's plenty of bandwidth because the ACKs can't get through.
A known problem on asymmetric links, and the easiest solution
is throttling upstream.

You cannot put 2 DSL circuits on one phoneline. No can do:
the frequencies are used by the first. But you can put two
DSL circuits on two different phone lines. Then you need a
rather fancier router, but fortunately you can roll-your own
with the Linux Router Project.
You will need to build and maintain routing tables that
shovel all the "entertainment" packets (by port and or addr)
out one interface.

One phone line - one broadband connection. That is the way the technology is
designed.
Two phone lines - two broadband connections. Now that works.
