Sorry for misleading you, I got confused.

Three different lines, but with the same number.

The normal term to use in that case is extensions.

May I suggest the OP (opening poster) of this thread registers on the site, so there can be no confusion about what is being said by whom? Then confirm whether it is three lines or one line.

How many line rentals are paid?
Dos the broadband still work if the router is connected to a "different line"?

It is not unknown for malicious Anons to enter threads and confuse the issue, and this issue is extremely confused - to the point that it is now impossible to give advice on the phone lines, in case a mischief-maker is present.

Ok, I will register. I know what you mean about anons.

However isn't there a hole in your plan? What if an anon registers under 'cyfer' before me?

Nevetheless, there haven't been any malicious posters so far so when I register, it is actually me.

And before anyone panics, Cyfer does appear to be the same person as the anonymous poster, no imposters or people playing silly games in this thread.

That did occur to me after I posted tongue smile.

That's good, and MrSaffron can almost certainly see the IP addresses of the posts smile.

Looking at exchange, perhaps Be Value (12Meg max speed) and unlimited for £17 a month might be an option.
if the phone line is not used for any real phone calls, then taking their line rental might be an option too.

@Roberto: Foiled again if I used a VPN frown . The internet has too many ways of being evil.

Thank you for your advice. I will research your suggestion and reply when I have further knowledge on the matter.

Sorry for replying, I don't know how to make a new post.

Be looks very good value, and no pesky landline that I'd have to pay more for. However it doesn't mention latency/ping at all. How can I get any information on this since I've searched their site?

Also, are there any others which are as good as Be?

Thank you for your time
