A modem that includes a list of the multiple domain names is firstly
provided. Each of the domain names is associated with a different
Broadband Service Node (BSN). A PPPoE session is established, and an
authentication request, containing the identifier and a generic password,
is transmitted from a modem to multiple domain names over the PPPoE
network. Subsequently, authorization is received from at least one of the
domain names. The authorization preferably comprises at least one static
Internet Protocol (IP) address. The modem then obtains full configuration
details from an Internet Service Provider (ISP). The invention also
provides a system and a computer program product for provisioning
broadband service in a Point-to-Point Protocol Over Ethernet (PPPoE)
network.
