There is no need to question the OP's reason for multiple connections, that isn't the question.

True, but it is bizarre and broadband66 is not the only person that is thinking it.

Since when was conformity de rigueur and eccentricity such a big no no? There are worse things than having several internet connections 🙄!

NB Would any passing moderators lock this thread please before it gets too toxic and bullying?

Mods don't that often pass by but you can post in Talk To The Staff to ask them to lock or you can email [email protected] to request a lock.

Indeed you're absolutely right, no one is bullying here, this is a forum for discussion.

I was purely saying that some people may find it bizarre, in the same way if you needed a car to get to work each day would you buy 2 spare cars specifically in case your main car broke down? I personally wouldn't but maybe someone else would and that would also be bizarre to some people but they would be within their right to do it just like you.

I don't see it been bizarre, I have two internet connections, one from a cable provider and one from openreach i need reliability for work, as I am unable to work without an internet connect as most DLS connections don't have an SLA been offline for days is not an option. Two connections from two separate provided is cheaper than a DIA (lease line)

As for the cars, there are people out there that have cars for occasions, why because they can. The op said he can afford to have 3 connection, and he does not need to justify that on here, all the op was asking is can I repeat 3 wifi signals with a mesh device and i believe this question has been answered.

We should not judge people by our own standards.

If one has two or more cars then that is their right but if the driver wanted to drive all at the same time then that is a bit of an issue.

It is not a bee in my bonnet but you are trying to get a resolution to an issue that is being made far more complicated by having 3 different connections and trying to have them available everywhere at the same time.

As I said before some people will find it bizarre for one person to have 3 internet connections into one property, the reason the OP has them is their choice but it doesn't mean others can't find it bizarre, just like the OP may find it bizarre that everyone doesn't have 3 internet connections.

Not the same thing as you well know, I gave a specific example that matched with the reason to have 3 internet connections. I have multiple vehicles (digger, tractor, van, car, push bike, quad bike) but they are not just there in case one breaks down at the exact same time as another one does.

Thank you copex - yes it’s not unheard of for people to have more than one car or more than one phone line, so why should this be any different?

What is it about human nature - that it seeks conflict for the sake of it?
