Comment PPPOE=reboot -- DHCP = good (Score 1) 936

I have personally been using broadband for over 10 years. In that time I have lived in 3 different locations and used 5 different providers. During my usage I did notice one common thing. I had to reboot the router when using PPPOE almost daily (yea cron!) but never ever would it be required when using DHCP.

All the DSL providers I was on required use of PPPOE and the cable providers used DHCP. I know I wont ever use PPPOE again unless it is the last provider on the planet.
