I stand corrected (on both counts) first a misunderstanding (maybe I'll clarify things a bit on the Wikipedia article), second a misnaming.

I guess it should be easy for wholesale providers to supply PPPoE capable kit to work in-conjunction with the Openreach supplied VDSL modem. It is just the LLU providers that are a bit stuck without starting to make significant investments in new infrastructure.
