hi I’m in the UK and I have a question about the broadband I just ordered the problem is I live with my dad and we share Our internet for gaming online on our own playstation’s the problem is he got a crappy deal from talk talk so we have a lot of problems trying to play online at the same time but it’s fine when one of us isn’t and watching Tele or out at work so I asked if I could get and pay for my own internet and separate phone line installed and he said yeah ok no problem the thing is I just orderd bt infinity and told them I didn’t have a phone line so they said they will install one and for some reason for free but what I’m worried about I’s when the technician comes to the house if I tell him that we want to keep the current phone line and get the New one too will he say yeah ok no problem and install mine with no problems to the one we have now so my dad can use it and so I can set all my router up and everything or should I cancel it so bt don’t take me for all my pennys

Answer #1

Why not improve the existing system, by modifying your father’s computer?

Anyhow, whether you do or not, I think:

“Yes - cancel the new contract, and be sharp about it.
You may only have a short “cooling-off” period left.

BT Infinity is a total rip-off, and I am inclined to think that your best solution would be to look into getting a 4G mobile broadband “pay-as-you-go” system:

IF coverage is available, with adequate data, at an acceptable price, in your area.

Then use the existing hard-wired TalkTalk router whenever you can get satisfactory exclusive usage of the link,

….. and use your 4G mobile router as an alternative, when your father will not relinquish his unbelievably selfish hogging of the TalkTalk system.
