One Main line coming to house but seperate modems
We have a telus line coming to our house, however it goes to the basement where they have the Telus internet. I'm living on the main floor and using Shaw but decided to switch to Telus, can I use that...
In the simplest of terms, no, you can’t have two accounts on one line. Were I the tenant, I too, would be wary of sharing my service with others.
Technically, the installer is correct the line speed to the basement will not change, but the internet feed to the basement will be shared among the users. If the connection is a 1Gbs fibre connection then the users will probably not notice that the line is being shared, but if a 25Mbs copper connection then user could notice the effects of sharing the connection.
Also the basement user may not be a plan that allows unlimited data transfer and sharing the plan will put them over there monthly allowance and require a plan upgrade.
Then there can be security issues with sharing and internet connection.
