I wasn't sure which section of the forum to post this topic within. If this is the wrong area could it be moved please.
But my question is a general one, and that is why do most ISPs in the UK seem to want to use the very old and outdate PPPOE connection type? Is there any particular reason for this and would there be anyway they'd reconsider and switch to one of the newer and better connection types?
From what I understand, PPPOE is a connection type created during Dialup days and is now considered so outdated and inferior to newer types. In most other countries the switch away has happened, but not the UK.
You would think in particular when FTTP was released they would use this as their chance to move away from it. But nope, still stuck with it.
What would it take for an ISP to switch away from this?
