[QUOTE=just4kix;110404]I really can't choose. I personally use PPPoE because I have a desktop, laptop and sometimes my Wi-Fi enabled O2 XDA IIi to connect to internet.

So I will vote for PPPoE - but only because I use it that way.[/QUO

ts is my first post over here in this forum

well abt this bridge or ppoe, i had bridge connection for 2 yrs frm 2007 onwards, last week i was forced to change from bridge to ppoe... (one day my dsl connection got disconnected and the next day it came back, but then i needed to configure the connection to ppoe and also required to assign a dns server for getting access to net again)
since the change, i have noticed a tremendous difference in speed while downloading torrents through mu torrent... (the speed has decreased

) dnt know the reason..

Pls share ur thoughts on this....

If you configure to PPPoE then you have to port forward to get the full speed. By portforwarding you will get back your speed which you used to get in Bridge. Please mention your router model and will guide you how to do it.

I just switched to Bridge from PPPoE. There is no considerable difference in speed. Yours might be a case of improper connection. Try port forwarding. Select your modem from PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall. They have the whole procedure explained with screen shots.

My BSNL BroadBand connection was initially in PPPoE mode then I started having trouble connecting to the internet. Lot of delay in acquiring connect- tion. When I contacted the BSNL Customer Care (Eluru, West Godavari, AP) they guided me to change my connection to the Bridge Mode. This was about a year ago. No problem since then.

PPPoE mode is better than the bridge mode for Night downloads. If connection gets disconnected at night it will start again on its own.In bridge mode you have to set Redial options.

True.

But it will redial automatically. We can set it in the properties. There are many diallers with reconnect facility.

That is because BSNL technicians are taught that, that is the only way to connect.

If you wish to connect multiple computers to the same router, then PPPoE is the only way.

I've been using PPPoE mode since two years and i have night unlimited Home 500C plan, as obvious we have limited data a month to be sent and recieved and in the pppoe mode, if we have to save from background downloading to save account, we need to turn on and off the LAN Hardware which is so irritating, On the other hand if i use a single pc or lap, using bridge connection offers easy connect and disconnect, preventing misuse of data, while the LAN and Modem could be always on and direct control through our bridge connection.
