Does Swiftel support PPPOA as well as PPPOE?

They seem to, it's what I use and it's working fine ATM. (Bit of a pun, I'm sorry.)

Thanks for the reply Zero_Divide. Just looking into PPOA at the moment. Any obvious advantages in real life with it over PPPOE. (ie) Is it/Was it worth the trouble?

I'm using PPPoA on my connection - the main things are that it's one less protocol layer - therefore one less place it can break, and one less place requiring overheads.

After seeing several suggestions to use PPoA, I changed over this morning... just changed the protocol setting on my DrayTek 2600We ... didn't even need to reboot the router for it to take effect !
