Ok here goes. I'm currently in the process of investigating which router I should buy or a combination of adsl modem + wireless router or whatever in order to do the following....

'Common shared dsl account' that can be used by wireless devices (dialed by the dsl modem itself). Then 2 or more other accounts that can be dialed on top of that for individual account holders on their respective computers. With the purpose of them not using the bandwidth on the 'common shared dsl account', but rather their own account's bandwidth.

As far as I know, the Billion 7300G or 7300N can do this. However I have a hard time trying to find out what other solutions beside the Billion one exist. Anyone able to throw a few solutions this side pretty please?
 
Say for instance you run a Linksys AM200 dsl modem connected to a Linksys WRT54GL Router. Right you switch the Linksys WRT to bridge mode. Will you also be able to dial multiple pppoe or is this something that the actual dsl modem needs to support?

I need someone to explain this to me pretty please. If I can figure out what is required to make it work then I can find all the solutions in the world on my own, but without knowing what I'm really searching for is not really helping lol.

UPDATE: Basically from my understanding. Any DSL modem in bridge mode can dial multiple PPPoE connections. Connecting the Linksys WRT with DD-WRT firmware would allow you to do a router-bridge mode which would allow for the Linksys WRT router to dial its own connection and allow individual accounts to be dialled as well due to the 'bridge' part.
