When it could connect the downstream rate was less than normal and my SNR was only 6/6. I called and got them to send out a tech.

The next day a linesman stopped by and told me he just wired my house to a new box and I was now two blocks away from fiber instead of three miles. I now connect at full speed with an SNR of 31/14, but PPPoA no longer works, only PPPoE.

I was using PPPoA before because it didn't drop my VoIP calls like PPPoE does, and my download rate was about 3% higher. Enabling upstream QoS on the modem *might* fix voice calls (haven't thoroughly tested), but I'd prefer PPPoA.

Is there any way to get PPPoA working again or is Qwest phasing it out?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22610740 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 17:44:59 EDT
