Appreciate the feedback, it doesn't severely slow things down? I saw some people complaining on dslreports (which still exists!) that they were getting awful speeds with PPPoE passthru.

There's no performance hit for using PPPoE passthrough on the HomeHub 4000. The 3000 had issues, and still does, but as a new subscriber you won't get it. Recently, some 3rd party X-GPON devices in both SFP+ and standalone appeared that can be modified to imitate a valid homehub mac address and authenticate on Bells network. You can then use your own PPPoE device to get connected.

Bell whining that they're going to pull a billion dollars in capital spending over having to allow resellers onto Ontario and Quebec fibre is the best case yet for re-nationalizing their network. Rename them to Nortel 2 while we're at it.

Federal government should claw back the tax breaks they gave Bell to expand, though I know without even looking it was done in a way that didn’t actually bind it to any investments.

I checked in with my neighbor and he's easily getting it - so something about the modem or my desktop PC. If the Dell laptop gets it I'll know for a fact.

Could also be a damaged cable between the modem and desktop. If a pair inside the cable is damaged, you can get limited to weird speeds like that.
