June 2 - PPPoE Authentication failure for pacbell.net users
by Riss_Centaur Thursday 02-Jun-2005
For Pacbell.net users: SBC has made a change to the authentication system. You must now add @pacbell.net to your PPPoE username to successfully log in to the system. Your short username alone will no longer work. This was apparently announced on the SBC status site, but the notice keeps disappearing.

That is why it's important to have a router. Problems like that would be minimal, especially when the router's connection wizard asks you for the complete username.

Entire Email address

Actually......Its more like, older "legacy" (@pacbell.net) customers ONLY had to use their user ID. Instead of the whole Email address.

Now they have to use their entire Email address, instead of just ID/screen name in order to login.
