Yes, what I was told is that people were hooking their DSL router/modem
into the hub as well as the boxes so they all got separate ips and it
was filling everything up to the point that other users were refused.
This is also a bit of laziness on their peoples part ... they could have
set it up so that customers couldn't do this...but they decided to go
with pppoe. I am so glad that I have "Enhanced" DSL w/ static ips and I
am about .8 miles from the CO...damn nice connection.
