The settings of PPPoE or PPPoA actually depends on the ISP.In general most of broadband connections from PC to modem uses PPPoE.The main difference of PPPoA and PPPoE is the connection settings to the DSLAM.
The speed of downloading difference between PPPoA and PPPoE actually depends a lot on the core network of the ISP.Streamyx generally uses ATM for core network but I believe they are slowly shifting to IP core network in the future as it will be the same throughout the world.Correct me if I am wrong.
Well... if your username is something like abc@streamyx, you use PPPoE since the IP address will be assigned to you and it will be changed the next time you reconnect to the network.The speed of downloading difference between PPPoA and PPPoE actually depends a lot on the core network of the ISP.Streamyx generally uses ATM for core network but I believe they are slowly shifting to IP core network in the future as it will be the same throughout the world.Correct me if I am wrong.
If your username is something like abc@tmnet, you use PPPoA. Subscribers who subscribe the enterprise/corporate line will get 2 or more static ip addresses. one for the modem and one for the server behind the modem. Usually the lower number is for the modem and the higher number is for the server(s) behind the modem.
The main reason of using PPPoA is just to enable the usage of the second number for the server so no NAT is required. But PPPoE, you have to use NAT and do port forwarding.
