You get the IP from the ISP's RADIUS server that authenticates your login.

One assumes they simply set up static and dynamic user profiles in their
RADIUS manager and stick your user in the appropriate group.

RADIUS doesn't know or care whether you are Jetstart or Jetstream. It does
whatever its configured to do.

As I understand it, the main difference is that under Jetstart ISP's have
the option of carrying the traffic themselves or paying Telecom to do it.

Hence an understandable reluctance on the part of some to bury themselves in
traffic manifesting itself in the 10Gb/mth limit and/or server restrictions.

BTW...to give some perspective,

A business I know of with a 256k DDS link and approx 100 users, public web
servers, heavy mail and browser use and regular moderate download traffic
only pulls about 4-5Gb/mth.
