Problem with 3 Internet, need Multiple Internet connections
 

Three has been fine for me until last few days where it is actually taking me 2 hour before I list an item. I have 4 laptops and 4 different dongles, now my question is:

If I was to get 4 different broadband into my house, do I need to get 4 different phone lines or is there any other way?

The speed is driving me crazy, I don’t mind paying as eBay is what I do full time so I can think of it as investment into the business

Thanks

Posted on the wrong part of the forum. Being moved now. Next round look for the correct part of the forum:peace:

What tests have you done to determine your line speeds? Mind, saying that '3' are shocking. Can you consider changing ISPs?

I think you need to do some tech work to find out if there's a specific reason. (Frankly, my dear, I think you'll find '3' suxs). Check that. PM me for a little chat:)

Thanks Green, sorry about the post. Well in the UK 3 has got the best reviews, also it has been fine just until a few days ago. I like 3 because each time it gives me new IP. I was with vodafone but I did get the same IP every now and then. Orange and T-Mobile blow like hell. I don't mind paying upto £50 a months per connection as long as I don't have to get an independent phone line for each broadband connection

We used 3 in both the UK and OZ for the reasons you said. We've moved on from them now.

You've not run any diagnostics? That might be needed before making radical changes

this could be your freind

got a mate who lives out in the country side and uses 3 , it makes his conntection much faster

have you got the phone on ? if you have you can get dile up for free

if your trying to keep cost down and just broadband without a phone, go virgin - 20meg for 24.99 which is the middle of the road package but i get 1st 3 moths half price the do a 10meg and 50 meg too 50meg is by far the fastest speed here in the u.k (£35.99) and you can only get it with virgin, BT are only just rolling out 20meg

ps forgot to say , no you don't need 4 connections, if you use wireless then you just connect to that network with the pc's if you are using Ethernet you have 4 ports on the router, so just use 4 cables

the rule is you must change the mac address in your router settings( very easy to do) for each ebay account, anyhow its all in ebay stealth.

Thanks guys, 3 seems ok now so touch wood it will stay this way :)
