Re: Telus 2Wire 2700HG-E modem on Teksavvy? yeah, I don't remember if there's a PPPoE option available through the MDC - I want to say yes, but I don't have one in front of me.
2Wire's with the old MDC password are few and far between - so I dunno if it'll make any difference. There may be a way to flash with other firmware - unless the HG-E (TELUS revision) will only accept certain firmware - which is a likely scenario.

ISTR seeing something on the BellER forum about flashing their 2701HG-G modems. It might be worth looking there. IMO it is not worth the hassle of flashing modems with "funny" firmware unless you find that sort of thing enjoyable or challenging.
In any case, even if you end up bricking the Telus modem you can get a refurb'd 2700HG-B for ~$25 that will do essentially everything the 2701 series can do. |

For $25 I think it would just be easier to buy one where you know it's going to do pppoe... And not bother goofing around with the telus Modem...
That being said I am always amazed what people will try in order to save money... LOL
