The various ISP's around the country......
Or better yet, the ISPs could just get rid of PPPoE altogether. I like Justin's quote at the end.
said by Justin:
I really dislike PPPoE, and this whole mess is a good example of how it adds nothing to the user's experience except pain. PPPoE is nothing more than a creation of phone companies who couldn't quite get their head around always-on connections, and instead have created a virtual dial tone, and virtual authentication, and lots more things that can go wrong."
It amazes me that they built this mess on top of simple, stable Ethernet.
