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.
