Openreach FTTP without pppoe?

We are due to move house soon, the new house is on a 4 year old estate which is fully fttp.

The house has an openreach ont which has been in use until the tenants moved out last week.

I’m now looking through the various providers who can use the openreach wholesale fitted line and ONT.

We will probably go for a 500mbps package.

One consideration is if the isp will require pppoe for authentication. I would prefer if pppoe wasn’t required, as the UniFi router I will be using can have issues with pppoe throughput.

So does anyone know if there are any providers who don’t use PPPoE? - someone told me they think talk talk doesn’t
 
That’s correct; TalkTalk (resi) use DHCP/IPoE, as does Sky. TT biz on the other hand use PPPoE.

At 500Mbps throughput are you sure that your UI router will be hitting a performance ceiling with PPPoE? I know UI Dream Machine derivatives have issues at gigabit speeds, but generally cap out somewhere around 600Mbps (on a Gigabit service) if memory serves.

Taking nothing away from Sky or TT, you’re otherwise shutting yourself off from a lot of other goods ISPs on the Openreach network.

Thanks for the info, I’m running a UDR which is fine at our current place on 35mbps VDSL. But will be getting towards its limits at 500mbps, so want to give it its best chance by not throwing pppoe into the mix.

Talk talk also happen to be one of the cheapest I can find for a 500mbps product.
