Is my line tied to my ip address

[contracts34]

Apologies if this is a daft question!
my mate wants to borrow one of my boxes for a couple of days to try it out. Will it work with my line on his router/ISP. I know he could get a test line but the box already has one of my lines loaded.

You should be fine as long as you don't use the same line at the same time on different ip addresses

you should be alright but no harm to mention to provider you have given your box to a friend for a test,its only when same line connects on 2 boxes alarms may ring and gets cut off.

Thanks for the info guys. I will let my provider know just to play fair.

Just to add to this, my provider said its ok as long as I dont connect 2 lines on different ip at same time. I assume most will be the same as not everyone has a static ip

I think what he's getting at is you don't have the same line running on two separate boxes at the same time. A big no no if you don't have multiroom or the suppliers permission and will
Most certainly land you with a deactivated line.
