Thanks to all for the excellent responses. I can continue this discussion on the list and add any relevant findings from the meeting.
Since I am getting a very good price on Juniper MX and nobody's said "forget PPPoE, it's old hat" [Correction: Neil has just dropped that in] the question I have next is about national coverage. I imagine WBC are the only ones capable of coverage in sparsely populated areas whilst still offering fibre in cities. I'd like to be corrected! Also considering: TalkTalk and C&W broadband wholesale. The LNS would terminate both internet and private network subscribers, so would have a dual purpose. It's likely there's a crossover point where the density makes sense to unbundle. So far the session capacity is likely to number in the mid hundreds for a quick ROI. Regarding M2M, I see AQL & A&A can offer an LNS termination for mobile data, but I see no mention of PPPoX - is something else used? Having read some of the comments again I must admit I am interested in Firebrick, particularly the bonding and the price may not be as high as I first calculated. I'll give Rev K a call when I look more closely at this part.
