New broadband line
I have a broadband line with my work into my house, but need a new line for Broadband access to the back of the house which doesn't have access (for my wife and kids to use).
The house is quite big, and the second line would about 70 feet from the front of the house. I could run a cable, but I would like a seperate line to try and keep things seperate.
It is the same address, but surely there must be a way to rename given the distances involved?

Re: New broadband line
It's potentially possible, by ordering a broadband service from a different ISP and emphasising that you don't want a 'switch' (otherwise one will replace the other)
However, broadband from another Openreach ISP will almost certainly land at exactly the same point within the property, because that's where the 'line' (copper pair or optical cable) arrives. FTTP does at least offer the possibility of getting the installer to use a longer optical pigtail, but 70 feet would be optimistic.
