If you dont have a router currently to keep your connection alive, You will have to establish your PPPoE connection upon rebooting. My brothers SBC yahoo connection is getting what they said it would....13KB/sec Upload and 1.3Mb/sec download on a 128/1.5 SBC line. The bloatware nailed him in the form of Yahoo hijacking IE. His ping times are good also. I pay twice what he pays using speakeasy through Covad. and get my full 1.5Mb/sec downspeed. Is it worth it, to me ....yes. You should be able to get a telco distance reading using www.dslreports.com

The difference in distance from what dslreports said and covad said was something like 15 feet for me, so I believe it may be fairly accurate
