Please note that some ISP's (Earthlink, Mindspring, Speakeasy, etc.) use either Covad or your local telco for the network services. Just use the VPI/VCI specified above for your Telco/CLEC.

If you have another ISP/Broadband Provider and you get it to successfully work with different VPI/VCI please post it to assist others. Please mention the Telco/CLEC/ISP by Name as that is what usually determines the VPI/VCI.

If you can, try to use PPPoA instead of PPPoE if your ISP supports it, because PPPoA is supposed to be marginally faster. The difference is probably small, but every little bit counts, right?
