Bag WinPoet!

RASPPPoE is supposed to be pretty good -- I don't know personally because I'm in ex-GTE land and we're still PPPoE-less (mostly) for the time being.

If you decided you ever want to have more than one computer connected at the same time, get a router (like the Linksys) that will handle the PPPoE for you and keep you "always on".

Enjoy! I've had Verizon for almost two years now and LOVE it

Re: Bag WinPoet!

RASPPPOE is excellent - very reliable & can be configured to provide service as soon as the machine is booted. By all means ditch WinPOET.

Re: put a router on ups

you can't have a static ip for years because the dsl will
go down so you lose that ip.
i go down maybe few times every few month so that not bad
that is something you can't help
they are giving out static ip soon
matter of fact i am under the static ip trial so
i have a static ip from from verizon.

Had it for a year

I've had it for over a year now, and it has been good, saw the offer from Covad and called Verizon, they set my rate to $39.95 and I am still without a contract.
Kind of tempted still to switch over, 1.5 by 128 for what I was paying before.

Slow service today,

There is a new SQL worm running rampant, slowing everything down. Also just to note you may consider a router to resolve the PPPOE issues, it takes care of the log on.

Verizon Online

I'm also having major latency problems with Verizon's DSL service (768 down/128 up), and this has been going on for at least a week, primarily at peak usage times. Prior to that, the average latency (tracert to Verizon.net) was 35ms. Now I'm lucky to get 400, and have seen it as high as 900+ms. Called their tech support - they're using the recent worms/trojans as the reason, but, interestingly, I checked very early this morning (around 8am) and I was averaging 35ms, and similar rates around lunch time during the week. Granted, more people will be on line during peak hours, but I'm beginning to think that Verizon has over-taxed it's infrastructure - after all, they recently reduced their rates nationwide, and upgraded sections of their infrastructure. If this doesn't clear-up in a week or so, it's back to Cox Cable - most of the folks I know here in my area with Cox aren't having the same problems that I'm having - could Cox be "worm/trojan-proof"?? Don't think so....

Re: Verizon Online

My verizon dsl is working great right now but i have experienced some problems before. I used to get like only 380kbps when i take a speed test but now it went from 380kbps to 1.2mbps. Do u guys use the telephone wire to hook up to your router that verizon gave u? If you don't try using that to connect to the internet cause thats what i did and it worked great! Or try to clean out your circuits if it has dust. It also might not good if your wire is damaged. You could also try and renew your ip configurations. Hope this helps! Go here to test your speed. »www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest

WinPoet with a Westell.

Dumb question.
If your'e using a Westell Wirespeed, why are you using
either WinPoet or Rasp? Westell 2100 and 2200
have their own PPPoE client in them already.
If it's a Westell 2200, it's bridged, but you can use
XP's PPPoE client or you can fake a connection
with 2000 by telling the computer to dial you vpi/vci
pair as a telephone number.

- Just curious -

PPPoE

WinPoet was a tech support disaster. The best solution was get a modem/router with it built in, and save a lot of grief. Verizontal finally agreed and started doing so....

But I now find that VZ here does not seem to care if I run PPPoE or not. YMMV.
