I need 2 uverse accounts.

[tachinaori]

Let me explain myself first this make take some time.

I have been a customer of att for many many years. I have had 2 dsl accounts at my house for those years. I was recently forced to switch from Dsl to Uverse ( I have no complaints about the speed or the service at all).

The only problem is I have 4 people living at my house who all have computers and 1 12mbps line is horrible for us. 1 person cant log onto hulu and start watching a movie or download or uload anything without it lagging us to death.

I cant upgrade to the higher package here since its not avail. 

I really need another account but the people ( att support say I cant ) Im wondering why? If I pay my bill every month like im supposed to do, why not let me pay you guys another 50 dollars a month. Right now im kinda being forced to find someone else to fill my internet needs.

Is there anyway around this at all.

I'm not aware of anyone who has 2 U-verse accounts at the same address.

You might try, sending a PM to Alex who is an AT&T Community Manager on this forum.

Also, check the settings on your account to make sure that you will receive email notification when a PM is received on this forum.

http://forums.att.com/t5/Receivers-Battery-Backup/Have-5-TV-s-and-would-like-another-Uverse-account-... states there that its a system limitation to have multiple accounts at the same address. apart from having an apartment or a unit number or something, just cant be done. But that was started like 2 years ago, worth a shot to see if theres a way around that by now

I have 2 uverse internet accounts in the same house it can be done most ATT people will say no you cant do it but I have 2. You have to have 2 phone lines thats the only thing you need! Just call and order you another intenet account they will hook you up!

Umm, perhaps the pervious user has misinformation. To have two uverse accounts, you need to have 2 NIDs on the side of the house (they grey boxes with a lock on one side) along with two drop lines (or just a higher standard drop). While physically, it's entirely possible to have two accounts at the same premise, you'll have a hard time creating two accounts at the same address with active service. The only way that i've seen this done with u-verse is having (as fearlessuser mentioned) a town-coordinated upper/lower, unit number, apartment number, or some other type of divider.

The answer is a physical one. The twisted pair drop leading to your premise would have a high amount of crosstalk as the lines would run on the same, high frequency. I would venture to say that it would not be a logical financial investment for ATT to run a second pair to your house. Let's say you move residence... how many people do you think would have a need for two seperate accounts bearing in mind the price? That's a personal opinion, however, it's one that might make more sense to you.

Ya know we do have 2 of those grey boxes outside that could be why it works for us. one is on the back porch and one on the front pole. We had 3 landlines at one time ages ago. They added a grey box to the back for some reason. Im not sure why I think because of something technical lol  So maybe thats why ours works. I dont know how it works for sure but it does work. 2 accounts is possible.
