Anon | PacBell PPPoe is actually....
pretty good to excellent... funny thing is I only hear nightmare in the forum, but from my exp since 2/24/2000 with PacBell Basic DSL is totally awesome. I talked to their REP with about 3 & 5 mins waiting time and I also get result. The e-mail is a bit slow (20 sec delay), but I got everything I sent. No complaints about the newsgroup. I actually prefer winpoet over NTS, seem alot faster at connecting. Since then, I tested it on everything, i.e. stream multimedia at 300K..flawless D/L about 1 Gbytes in 1.2 hrs.
By the way, they gave me a Alcatel Home Touch Modem.The Rep says it's much better than Alcatel 1000 which give people disconnect and wasting bandwidth problem.
From what Pacbell installer told me is that PacBell was hacked, but I think it probably a lame excuse for not being prompt with everything.
One last thing, their POTS splitter is great, actually solves some of the distortion on my existing phone. | |
Anon | One more thing.. I also setup a LAN in my house, and DAMN! PPPoe can't be shared without using a router, but I think there must be a way around this pretty soon because all of the machines are able to log on when no one has logged on. There should be some way to check if it's logged ,and if it is, then use ICS and share the connection. Logically, this way we don't need to have one machine on all the time. Not really interested in Static IP, just wanna surf....Also to let people know that the modem is SPEED TOUCH HOME and there is also SPEED TOUCH PRO which also have ROUTER, firewall, and NAT support built in. The PRO, I think, also support PPPoe, but I could be wrong. PacBell do not offer this modem as an option, but you always can ask. | |
