> Even in 2026, a huge number of ISPs still rely on PPPoE, including Bell Canada, AT&T Fiber, and Xfinity in the US, along with the vast majority of ISPs in Europe, Asia, and China. Comcast (Xfinity) does not use PPPoE.

An approximate, if imperfect, predictor of PPPoE usage is "did this organization previously deliver packets over twisted pair, especially DSL?". Xfinity/Comcast historically (and currently) delivered packets over coaxial cable -> no PPPoE. All the telcos delivered over DSL -> mostly PPPoE.

  It doesn't apply to Verizon (FIOS) either, despite their history of DSL.

  In my country it was even worse, most dsl use PPPoATM.
