It depends on the DSL provider.  Verizon only provides Layer 2 
connectivity when they put DSL in your house.  You can also use Verizon 
for Layer 3-7, or any other DSL provider that works with Verizon loops. 
 In order for a DSL provider to work with Verizon, they only need to 
have a connection into Verizon's ATM/SMDS cloud.  At the CO, the DSLAM 
hands your connection off to the appropriate provider's network.
