Which model is this for? Thompson have made various gateways over the
years — some better than others, I might add.
The latest BigPond–branded models are locked down so @bigpond.com is
welded to the end of your PPP username, preventing you from using it
with another ISP.
Getting around that is a good incentive to get root, IMO. :-)

That’s not the case. Completely separate companies, although the NBN Co
recently signed a deal that gives them access to Telstra’s physical
infrastructure (e.g. running fibre through their ducts).
