Re: Ouch if its not really white label, then why, if a customer subscribes to adsl from two different companies, does it work if they switch user ids and passwords and it 'works'? | |

No... The Line card has to be enabled, which is done once TekSavvy requests it to be... This allows the tunnel to be opened for network/credentials requests...
The only reason changing logins works once a line card has been enabled is because the Central office has the database of accepted realm names, where it passes it on to wherever Bell agreed/contracted to. In order to do this you must have a collocated location which accepts and aggregates L2TP traffic. You can't just own a login per say and enable internet access as a wholesaler of GAS services.
By your definition Sympatico would be a reseller/white label too, which it isn't, as they have equipment they aggregate to also, in a variety of locations, even 151 Front Street I'm sure (guessing).
We all have to share the same backbone to back-haul through (as Bell is the incumbent in Ontario/Quebec for phone copper in the ground), so if you treat it the same as your typical network, for discussion-sake, we're talking VLANs essentially. One VLAN belongs to company X, the next VLAN belongs to company Y, etc, for delivering the login request... not the internet access!
Now... to take what you just said.... You've just identified something that is pretty major, as TekSavvy has purchased the rights to activate the Line Card in the Central office (which allows this user ID through for Gateway Access Service delivery requests). From there, if no one picks up the login or allows the request through to Toronto (or wherever it's aggregated to), there is no DSL. One needs the other to exist.... as a result this isn't a relabeling/white-label/resold anything.
Now... if you're talking about our Local Phone or Long Distance in Ontario/Quebec however.... Those are resold/relabeling/white-label things!
