    Hello,

    Is it possible to get 2 broadband connections into a single house? I am in a fibre to the home enabled area which was recently activated via the rural fibre rollout 300k plan. I run a business from my property and wish to keep my home broadband separate from my business, so would like to have a completely separate broadband connection for my business. Thanks.

    Get a SOHO/small business firewall, you can have multiple WAN's (broadband).
    Even use each as failover.

    You can segment each LAN home/business using VLANs.

    Thanks - yes I know the various technicalities. This is more to do with billing and company finances - it makes sense for me to have a distinct connection dedicated to the business.

    Hi there Orebro

    I've just received a confirmation that this will not be possible.

    Sorry I couldn't give you better news
