New Price, my ass.
(Note - this isn't for my own internet service, this is for a bunch of people I support at work who work from home and had preexisting Earthlink contracts)

Earthlink and QWest/MSN use PPPoE for their connections.

Speakeasy doesn't.

They both use the same lines.

Go figure.

Use P2P for legitimate purposes!

New Considering QWest offers an "upscale" offering...
...that uses the same equipment, but no PPPoE, ("Always on internet!") it appears to be some kind of market segmentation thing.

New Qwest line with local ISP
No PPPoE here. Qwest provided modem/router, which I have configured just as a bridge. My inlaws have Qwest/MSN with the same modem/router..but it uses PPPoE. I do my routing and firewalling with a linux box (IPCop) as I have a /29 network from my ISP.

It's like reading nadsat, only without the clarity.
