PPPoE, ethernet modem, self install, dynamic IP. Acceptable connection service, and great customer service. They answer the phone with a person right away (unlike the phone company) This is replacing my cable service...which has been diving in speed on a regular basis. I'm at the end of the run and the technician suggested I go with the 768 max speed for better consistency, but I went with the 1.5. There is some flakiness during heavy downloads, but I've never dropped the connection...it just stutters a little every now and then. The tech told me my line is "populated at 93% and they like to see it under 75%"...whatever that means. But that explains the jitters. My speed is consistently 1.1Mbps on the tests here and varies on other tests, but is never below 800Kbps. The only time I've been without service was once when Ameritech goofed up a switch somewhere and everybody lost service. Overall, the customer service shines and I think that is important. I don't have time to sit on the phone on hold for half an hour. Biggest challenge was running a dedicated dataline to my home office. My inside wiring was really bad. I got 1.3 at the box outside and 60k in the office. I put a splitter and a filter in the box and ran CAT5.
