I have a plain home broadband connection that uses pppoe.

When I ping or traceroute the IP address my broadand router shows that
my ISP has assigning me today from a machine on the public internet,
am I testing the wire all the way to my router or is the reply from
equipment in the CO?

I think the answer is that it's an end-to-end test, but it's nagging
me.

A test from outside, like http://www.traceroute.org , should
test all the way to your router. You could verify it by
turning your router's ICMP reply function off (many routers
have that setting).

AD,

You are pinging the dsl router - unless you are (1) running a PPPoE
client on a
connected PC or the dsl router is bridged and you have
another router attached
(running PPPoE) .

P2E
