and pppoe these days really doesnt do much to hide you. Constant shifting of ip's really only means they just bank your fq dn and mask so i dont see the point.

im pppoe and only would like dhcp cause then my router doesnt have to think so hard....the overhead does add up but its the extra thinking that i would remove..

Can these users change their routers again and be back on PPPoE? If Verizon offers both, why not allow the user to decide which they prefer?
