@mark68 It is possible, but you would need a second OpenReach connection installing - which will cost.

@bmc SKY is most likely supplied over OR. I sincerely doubt Virgin allow them anywhere near their network.

@mark68, just on a purely pragmatic basis, have you considered sharing a connection and splitting the cost?
If you have a fast connection (e.g. Virgin), it should be fast enough for multiple people to game and stream at the same time without issue.
If you are worried about security and traffic interfering with each other you could use a router to provide separate VLANs to each of you - so each of your traffic only goes out via the ISP router, and isn't shared between you at all.
It could save quite a bit of money, and some aggravation trying to get two OR connections.

Sharing seems sensible, but two Openreach connections is easy enough (usually), I had that for a while recently when transitioning from ADSL/POTS to SOGEA/VOIP. Both were with PlusNet as it happens.
I did already know that my overhead drop wire had spare pair(s) in it, but that just made the engineers job easier on the day. Price was the same anyway and I had to pay a £50 installation fee for a new line.
You do need to make it ABSOLUTELY CLEAR to whoever you order it from that this is an additional line at the same premises though!
