So as far as I can see it, you are either connected to the big DSLAM with everybody else in the area or you are not, and which provider you get depends on the PPPoE settings. Otherwise why would you have to include the provider in the PPPoE settings at all?

I think that at least Sympatico is (or was) on different DSLAM hardware than the other ISPs that use Nexxia are. Something about the differences in the implementation of ATM on the card. I don't know much more than that, as I'm not an expert. So switching between Sympatico and a private ISP might indeed be a problem, but switching between private ISP's should (as I will find out firsthand on August 22nd). - awh -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
