Multiple users on IOL Broadband?

    Connecting to IOLBroadband residential service at the moment and noticed that they state that it is only possible to have ONE PC connected at a time? Eircom don't mention any such restriction. Is there a technical way for IOL to enforce this if you have your own combined Router/Modem with DHCP? Surely this is transparent to the network?
    Any help appreciated. :)

    AFAIK, they're not going to be in a position to determine if you do internet connection sharing on your end or connect up various machines via a router. Dont think they're really that bothered either.

    As Eurorunner says, I'm pretty sure they can't tell, and don't care for that matter. The condition is there mainly because they will only supply you with a USB modem and support that modem - so, they will not support getting your third party router working with multiple PCs. They might not be too happy if you started reselling the service to your neighbours either, but I think the main reason is just to keep their support situation simple.
