Anyone in the tech game know how easy it is to get more than 1 broadband entry point into a property?
Soon to be moving onto our forever home and my sons on route to fulfil his dream of esports f1. But WiFi is of course important and I want to help ensure he has the best connection.
Is it possible to have more than 1 broadband entry point so we can run an ethernet cable from a socket in his bedroom wall or are we just having to look at WiFi extenders? |  |

You buy an ethernet cable, stick it in the router and feed the cable into the room. If the internet isn't fast enough, buy better internet.
Now wire me £50. |  |

Just stop posting on here and he should have all the bandwidth he needs to watch F1 |  |

In short yes, I have 2. Both with BT. One is for the house, internet, tv etc and then I have a separate line into my home office. With the kids home and using it I didn’t want bandwidth degradation caused by my kids gaming etc.
Be warned though It took me 6 months to sort, BT internal systems really couldn’t cope with 2 lines in 1 address, I ended up after many false starts and cock ups by open reach complaining directly to the CEO (email address publicly available) which got it sorted in end.
An alternative is to allocate bandwidth per user, that way you can ringfence your own bandwidth for your needs, leaving rest for kids. Was available via Virgin a few years ago, unsure it BT offer same |  | | |

I've just moved house and the previous owners ran their business from home. They had a complete server stack and multiple desks around the house. Internet speed was very important to them due to the nature of their business.
We were talking through the set up and simply put the best way to ensure consistent performance is to run hard cables around the house. Once installed properly it will work out a lot cheaper than having two separate lines. You just need to ensure that your broadband connection is fast enough. If he is getting into esports then full fibre is essential to ensure speed and reduce latency. |  |

Normally the broadband router from your supplier will have more than one wired Ethernet socket. That said, it does mean you will have to run a cable from where the router is to where you need the other end to be.
The other possibility is Ethernet over Power, which uses the electrical cabling to transmit data. A bit tidier than running cables
If you want 2 complete broadband connections then that 2 phone lines, two routers and you would need to ask The supplier to install this in the room you want covered. |  |
