Re: Not Real Data

said by Gaff:

I pay AT&T for 6Mbit DSL but never receive over 5.1Mbit due to the (PPPoE) overhead.
PPPoE doesn't have that much overhead. I run a WISP and for your 6Mb connection, PPPoE overhead might drop that to 5.9, but not a whole meg. I account for the overhead so it would actually perform at the promised speed, too bad other providers don't do this, but their main slowdowns are the fault of PPPoE anyway.
