Need more speed? Consider adding a second internet line
Do you need more bandwidth to power all the devices in your household, but an internet speed upgrade isn’t available at your address? If so, a second internet line might be the ideal solution for your household. It could allow you to dedicate one line to your work or school-from-home needs, for example, while you use the second internet line for everything else.
Ways to use a second line
- Working or schooling from home – keep other devices connected on the separate line
- Gaming – game without sharing bandwidth with other activities for the best performance
- Streaming – dedicate a line for watching your favorite shows and movies anytime to reduce buffering
- Roommates – get a separate line for each roommate so you don’t have to share bandwidth
Important notes:
- A second internet line requires a technician installation and a separate modem.
- Some account types are not eligible for a second line, including:
- Those with pair-bonded service
- Those with plan speeds above 40 Mbps
- A second internet line will be on a second account with a separate bill. You can manage multiple accounts with My Brightspeed.
To order a second internet line, contact us. A customer care agent will review the requirements and your options.
