   It makes no difference what ISP each end is connected to.  That's kinda   
   the point of VPN.  Since it is so integral to the whole concept of VPN   
   this bit of info is considered a trivial detail and isn't explicitly   
   mentioned in a network diagram.  Usually most VPN diagrams will simply   
   show a cloud labelled Internet between the two sites.  That indicates   
   that it does not matter what ISP the two ends connect to as long as they   
   have full internet access.
