I wish centurylink fiber supported baby jump frames. :/
- toast0 6y agoWould make more sense for them to just do IP over fiber directly than fiddling with their PPPoE implementation. I have centurylink DSL with PPPoE and the thing that really bugs me is if your modem lost the PPPoE password, it can login with default credentials and ask for the passsword. CenturyLink clearly knows who I am without needing PPPoE authentication, so what do they get out of it?
- praseodym 6y agoMy local provider requires PPPoE over fiber but accepts any password. It’s probably some legacy artefact that’s too complicated to remove from the stack.
- korethr 6y agoDollars to doughnuts the PPPoE implementation is tied into a billing system.
- bcrl 6y agoIt makes wholesaling your network easy since you can tunnel switch based on the user@domain used during authentication.

- stock_toaster 6y agohaha. yeah, not sure how jump slipped in there.
