TOUCHCOMMS's ADSL Broadband allows you to share your connection with as many computers as you like - all using the same single ADSL connection. However, to do this, you will need an TOUCHCOMMS ADSL router, network cards in all the computers with which you wish to share the connection, network cables and a little technical knowledge. Alternatively you can use wireless technology together with a wireless router and wireless cards to connect up to 127 devices.
 
The following table is a guide as to how many computers can share the various ADSL products we offer:

The available bandwidth is shared between all the computers which means that the actual numbers able to share a connection vary depending on usage. If the main use for the connection could be described as light (internet surfing and mainly text-based email with small attachments) then the user numbers are fairly accurate, however, if the use is likely to be more than this it is recommended that you go for a higher speed (higher bandwidth) product.
 
When choosing a product - plan ahead - what is your use likely to be in 6, 12 or even 18 months time. If it's likely to increase then it is easier to choose a higher speed product now.
 
When sharing an ADSL connection you will need a TOUCHCOMMS Router which can either plug directly into your exisiting network or you can use a TOUCHCOMMS 4 port wireless router to link up to 4 computers directly to your ADSL connection.
 
Technical Support for sharing your connection is only available when the connection is made using TOUCHCOMMS supplied routers.
