Idea: Let's say I have a "standard" (600/100) flatrate adsl account from
ISP A at home, and the Sunrise 150 flex somewhere else (holiday
house, chalet, grandparents, etc.).
Will it still work if I just configure the sunrise adsl line with
the login/pw information of ISP A ? (assuming I turn off the router
at home).
I guess it would work (but of course still at 150/50), but what
about the 20MB limitation? Who is doing the accounting work:
Swisscom or Sunrise, or both?
Oliver,
I tested this about two years ago. I have two ADSL lines at home served by
different
providers (one analog, one ISDN, both with fixed IPs). I did some
permutations, connecting different
lines (analog/ISDN) with the different account credentials, e.g.
connecting line A with
account from line B and so on). I then then expanded the experiment with
ADSL lines of friends
in other parts of Switzerland.
My observations was as follows:
1.)
If a given phoneline (be it analog or ISDN) is registered for ADSL use,
you can successfully run whatever ADSL account on it.
2.)
The bandwith you get is based on the bandwith bought for that specific
phoneline.
3.)
The IP addresses you get are based on the account used for logging in.
Based on my experiance/experiment (2 years ago), your idea would work with
the above limitations.
If someone has more insight on how this works in the backbone,
I would be interessted to learn about.
Cheers
Stefan Frei
