Thanks Lonnie
Hmm MSS should be fine then assuming it is working.
I will do some more testing on the new service in my home office. Unfortunately
the one not working is a building site and its way too cold at the moment.

No, per the /stat/etc/rc.conf file:

## MTU Changes
## If you need to specifically set the MTU for a given interface, do that
here.
## You can try to set the MTU for any valid type of interface. With
ethernet it
## works most of the time. Everything else, caveat emptor...
## If you are using PPPoE don't worry. We automatically handle those MTU
issues
#IFMTU="eth2.41:1496 eth0:1492"
--
I don't see any configuration for the PPPoE MTU, though there may be a way.
What is the local MTU set to by default ?
--
ip link show dev ppp0
--
After the PPPoE link is up you could try to change it:
--
ip link set dev ppp0 mtu 1460
--
If that works we can try to figure out how to make that stick.
> Can I set the TCP MSS anywhere?
This is the current value hardcoded in the PPPoE config:
CLAMPMSS=1412
-- PPPoE docs --
CLAMPMSS
The value at which to "clamp" the advertised MSS for TCP sessions. The
default of 1412 should be fine.
