Hi,
    are you talking about broadband lines or leased lines? If you are 
only talking about a normal  Broadband line then you won't get faster 
than what BT provides at your local exchange taking into consideration 
the other users around you...
   I live in the middle of nowhere and I'm about 700 yards from my local 
exchange. I have an 8 meg and thats real bandwidth :) You will note that 
most third parties offer upto 8 megabits. Unless they have dug their own 
cables to their own exchanges you are on BT lines somewhere and will be 
limited by them. But yes you could have as many lines as can be 
installed to your site...

Regards,

Pete
