USG / Century Link Fiber Set up

[Stephen Partington]

I am not seeing any performance degradation from ppoe vs not. I used this
same device with Cox Fiber gigablast and the speeds and rates are nearly
identical.

I chose the ERLite specifically for its ability to shove lots of packets.
And while that is not the true measure of performance it was a metric that
I am not regretting that I used.
