One advantage over SBC is that I dont have to spend $300 on some crap
speedstream dsl modem, and its not pppoe.

I've never understood... what do people have against pppoe? I've seen these common arguments, for which I will respond:


Gripe: You get disconnected all the time.
Response: Really?  I've maintained a connection for weeks, sometimes
months at a time.  And any pppoe client worth its weight will try to
automatically connect.

Actually, having had SBC's base DSL service for about a year, I can say that I had frequent disconnect problems, and numerous routing and connection speed issues with them, I don't know that they're *directly* related to PPPoE, but having been with other providers in other cities that didn't use PPPoE, I can say for certain that I didn't have those problems there.....
