Re: [Poll]PPPoE or DHCP?

I've had my DHCP WAN IP for so long, it's as if it's a static IP. The only reference point I've seen for staying on PPPoE is the ease in getting a new IP. Most of them who wanted that seemed to use it for hiding their IP.

Down side of my IP is that it's geolocated to my CO.

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..

PPPoE is also geolocated. Pretty cool. What's the down side?
