Does this exist?

A provider who will let you connect from ANY adsl-enabled line? Or are the
lines always tied to a single provider?

The latter.

The line is always tied to a single ADSL provider, and probably username
as well.

No.

Or are the lines always tied to a single provider?

Yes.

Almost true but not quite that simple.

When I was with Plusnet, they LLU'd me onto a Tiscali connection.

I discovered I could get a connection either with my Plusnet login details or my
neighbour's Tiscali login. I'd describe that as an oversight/aberration though.

Which is a right pain in the butt if you access accounts with several ISP's,
like maintaining several websites on different hosting ISP's. Some of it
you can do with FTP, but you reallly need to be logged into the ISP's
domain for the rest.
Pity the ADSL model isn't routed, then we could have more than
one ISP, and vote with our feet from the shiddy ones, without
all the hassle of migration.
Just like the dialup model for ADSL.

Not the user name. I can log on using my ADSL connection to a friend's
account, and vice versa. Same ISP, and same exchange.

It is not exchange dependant either.
