Whats your internet connection?

[Martin]

I am now back on 384 / 128 ADSL.

As of last week, my line has been upgraded from 384K/128K to 1.5M/128K.

ADSL 1.5 down/128 up

I have a question for you guys, speaking of internet connections and what not. Is PPPoE (point to point protocol over ethernet) standard for this type? Or is there something else that's used that I'm not aware of.

I know the standard for dialup is PPP so I don't see how it would make much of a difference since it's both on the phone line.

When I get a really good job I'll get a personal connection of 7.1 downstream, 768k up (It's 240.00 a month - quite a dent in the wallet)

PPPoE is what is now widely used/standardized for residential ADSL connections. You can pay extra to get an "always-on" connection, which was prevalent prior to 2001 (before the big switch to PPPoE), though I'm not sure if many ISPs offer this option anymore.

PPPoA (PPP over ATM) is also used, although it's not too common.

The always-on is free through Verizon

Martin - I'm just curious - I've seen people ask you about your avatar a lot - is that Mohammed?

Sorry if I'm being too personal.

Sorry for the off-topic question.
