Ok so i've been trying to work this out over the last few days, I have a Homehub from BT and it has the Hub Phone which is basically VOIP, now it has a normal phone connector on the back so what would stop me connecting to another ADSL service through this "line". Now i know there are differences between VOIP and broadband, but Dialup and Adsl both use "noise" to send information, surely u could send this straight down a VOIP "line" and theoretically if you could do this u could do it again with anohter VOIP service within the First?

I know you cant do it at the moment but i'd really like to know why as i cant stop wondering. Thanks to anyone that can make sense of my question lol

Now it might just be me, but i seem to have recieved patronising answers, i didn't say i want two connections on the same line i simply asked if it was possible to tunnel another connection on a voip line, it makes sense it should be possible at least with dialup, why not broadband?

Let me try this from a "different" angle. VOIP (Voice OVER IP) is already a "tunnel", it connects using your existing IP broadband line! So putting a tunnel within that tunnel would make too many layers and simply doesn't work. It would simply be too much "noise"! (For all you purists, I know this is way over simplified but in this context seems the best way to explain it!) VOIP doesn't work without an existing broadband connection and once that connection is busy, well its busy! That "phone" connector on the back is already PART of the ADSL/Internet line.

Or in other terms.
With VOIP you have already layered Voice (or a phone connection) into the IP line which brings in your internet. Attempting to add another "internet line" into that layer would simply be redundant and would use the same exact same space as your exisiting internet line thus killing the effort.

Hope that helps. Nice thought, but you simply can't put more "water" into the same pipe without something overflowing!

Because everything is sent down 1 pair of wires from the exchange and you cant connect two adsl services to 1 pair of wires, the voip is just that Voice sent over your existing ip link it is not a seperate phone line

No, you need another seperate connection, eg phone line or cable to do that.
