Only on their own network, surely. There is an ATM VC that goes over
BT's ATM network to connect my router to one of my ISP's routers. I
don't see that BT has access to the IP addresses of each end of that
circuit, or, if it does, it shouldn't be spying.

BTs radius servers are used by all independent ISPs without LLU, they
'proxy' the ISPS own radius servers.

How else can BT know where to vector the actual ATM conversation?
