- ISPs allowing sharing?
- Posted by Tracey Gardner on October 3rd, 2004
I'm looking for an ISP that will allow me to share a 1M broadband connection
with my neighbours.
Does anybody know of an ISP that allows sharing?
Thanks
Tracey

Only AOL used to have a non sharing policy but don't think they do anymore.

We would allow this. Basically, I doubt there's any Internet providers
that wouldn't be able to allow this. What you do with your ADSL line is
entirely up to you.

Sharing a ADSL with your neighbours? As opposed to just a home network?
Not that an ISP would know the difference at the users end - but I would be
suprised if they were happy with the former..

Also what his neighbour does with it, is the ADSL owners responsibility.

My collegue does just this, but it is a psecial case. He went with Zen
and told them what he wanted to do. They did request he order a business
rather than home circuit though.
He had to get a circuit into the local pub, then beam it 2km into his
house and distribute it from there to the neighbours. Zen greed to this,
he does live out in the sticks, and the local pub was then only place he
could get an ADSL connection (things may have changed in the past month
or two of course)

They may not be happy, but there's nothing you do about it, to be honest.
There's no technical difference if your neighbour is sharing it or if you
have 10 machines on a home network, really.

Unless they come round and check where you cables go to I do not see how they
would know. I share my connection with another PC in the house, that is no
different to slipping a cable though the wall to your neighbour.
Just make sure you trust your neighbour to get payment from them :-)

We would have no objection to this, and indeed we have many customers
who operate serviced offices who share one DSL connection amongst a
number of tenants.
That said, there is no support available for it in networking
terms; you will need to know how to set up your Local Area Network
accordingly, since our support demarcation line is the CPE router.
In addition, one neighbour whose usage of the service resulted in
significant abuse issues could in certain circumstances result in
your service being suspended under the terms of the easynet Acceptable
Use Policy.
We have business focused services:

And newly announced residential and/or SoHo (small office home office)
focused services:
http://www.easynetconnect.co.uk/
No download or usage limits on either.

In fact, having checked, there is a Term and Condition related to usage
covering the Easynet Connect residential and/or SoHo focused service:
2.13. We reserve the right to suspend or restrict your use
of the Broadband Service if we consider it unreasonably
excessive for a single connection. For example,
for the Broadband Service we would consider regular
or recurring data transfer in excess of 2 Gigabits
per day to be unreasonably excessive and reserve the
right to restrict you to this amount.

No such restriction applies to the business focused easynet broadband
services.

hmmm, 27 (500k) and 35 (1000k) monthly, PLUS VAT... SoHo maybe
but I doubt many residential customers will be too interested...
A 50% discount for Easynet shareholders might tempt me though :-)
