We've a small business with 2 lines, same no, to a switchboard - i wanted broadband but...?

Question

I'm with unicom for the phone - theyre ok but when I've phoned for broadband they said 'we cant put it on your existing line because its a multi number line' (2 line rentals, 1 number), going into a bt inspiration 6 extension switchboard. so they want to sell me another line at £100+, another monthly line rental £12 and 29.99 for the broadband. Cant I have the existing line enabled for data (one of them or is there only one?) and put a filter splitter in before it gets to the switchboard, and run a modem/router from there? The lad on the phone seemed to just be selling.. OR am I just tight. - but i only want it to do a bit of ebay etc inbetween jobs - not really for work.

Answer 1

It sounds like your proposal is realistic.  Call back and press the question until they give you clear reasoning as to why it cannot be done.  Perhaps a different person will give you different answers. (different level of knowledge).  If need be, ask to talk to someone higher up at a higher technical level.
