They're cheap and lazy!
.. and ready to give the shaft to eager consumers who are tired of dialing up! This after decades of holding back progress in telecomm, sucking as much money as they could out of ISDN (1960's technology) before reluctantly releasing ADSL. Now they want you to take a 5-10% performance hit via PPPoE so that you can't run any servers and take a few megs extra bandwidth from the poor old phone company. PPPoE requires somewhat less administration too (once you actually get it working), so they can hire guys who were flipping burgers last month instead of experienced techs.
I have a static IP with BA which I'm sure to lose when I move in a few months. That's okay, they'll lose a customer. |
