Two ISP's in the same house?

Is it possible for me to pay for Virgin Media as my ISP if we already have BT in the house (for my mum, dad and brother)?

I'm wanting to get my own ISP coz our internet is slow as **** and I want to get the best one.

Is it possible?!?!?! xx

It should be. They might be a bit like :S ***? at first on the phone to them but explain the situatuion and they should be able to sort you out.

It's possible however you have to say that one is for work, and other for home.

Just something I always wondered on the topic of two ISPs, is it possible to use two connections and then you can sort of merge them together to have the speeds of both.

E.g. 50mb Virgin Broadband with 8mb BT, could you then get 58mb Broadband on one PC?

Cant you just ring up bt and ask them for a better package deal?

No. You can't run two connections together like that. You can only run them separately.

No BT's crap.. Its just taken me 40 minutes to install AVG anti virus.

Possible, but youd need a second phoneline + useing the two on the same LAN is a major pain in the arse (not really worth the trouble).
