can i have 2 internet connections at one house?

[Tracy Sweetheart]

my roommate has optimum and either has a very poor router or just a bad wi-fi signal. When I moved in I had called optimum to see about getting my own internet and also adding cable. However optimum will not all 2 accounts at one address. Whenever I try to play World of Warcraft I constantly get dced. His router is in the next room so I should be in plenty of range.

Alot of times it will say that I am still connected to the internet but I lag out of WoW or there are times that it will say I am not connected to the internet.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do or if I would be able to get another provider for my own use as this is getting quite tiresome and annoying.

Thanks in advance!

Yes you can just call them

This will require a lot of money, as you will have to add a new wire to your house or (if you have satellite Internet) a new dish and wire to your house. Altogether, you're looking at somewhere near $2,000 for installation and first month's bill. AT&T U-Verse is Satellite, rarely goes out (the power was out in my entire city, including my house due to a bad storm, yet the modem still worked and I was able to connect 3 laptops and an iPhone), is fairly inexpensive and generally pays ETF's if you decide to switch in the middle of a contract. Also, if you have a friend or family member who uses U-Verse, use them as a reference to save money on your first bill. If not, email me and you can use me as your referral!

P.S. I you decide to switch to anything else and dump your old provider, you will not need a new line added to your house so dont have to worry about a huge installation fee.

of course you can.

Yes you can have, but there is no need of that according to me.
