@quic

Quic is what I am looking for, straightforward and flexible. I was transferred to 2D as MR left the market. I am looking for a better provider which can support BYO on hyperfibre.

I am using 8Gbps now. I see Quic already has the 2Gbps option. Will 4Gbps will be available this year?

It already appears as an upgrade for current customers, so guessing it will be for everyone at some point this year (think they are working on a better solution than PPPoE for connecting at those speeds)

I’ve seen some good speeds on PPPoE on them but they’ve got IPoE launching very soon too.

Ain’t you using something pretty beefy as a router currently? Could give it a shot.

Hey team,

Currently we're not officially offering 4G Hyperfibre just yet.

Given PPPoE overheads on Hyperfibre requiring an especially grunty CPE, we're waiting for our completion of IPoE/DHCP authentication, at which point we can then work to officially productise 4G Hyperfibre. 😊

So answer is, yes it's coming, yes it's likely to be before the end of the year, however don't take this as any official status!

And good sleuthing @MattEast! Not sure if that upgrade should be showing yet! 😜

Thanks for the info. Yes I am using a 32 core DELL server as main router. But that will not remove the extra cost of PPPoE. Is it much slower?

Morning, I'm on the 2G Hyper-fibre plan at the moment and average about 1900Mbps in both directions when connected directly to the ONT with the Mac. Best I've had is a hair over 2Gbps. My router has a 2.5G WAN port but only Gigabit ethernet ports, so it handles everything ok, but it would be nice to take some of that load of the router as I do have quite a few connected devices in the house. I can run two concurrent Speedtests via ethernet and get around 920Mbps on both devices, in both directions at the same time. Obviously I'd need some hardware upgrades to go beyond 2Gbps, but absolutely no need for anything faster for me at this point in time....same could be said of Gigabit Fibre, but hey, I like to have shiny new toys😄

@Quic, I wonder what would happen if I click that upgrade link, it takes me to the page when I can pay the extra $28 per month for the speed increase/upgrade, guessing it would fail at that point?

My understanding is that most PPPoE implementations are currently very single-threaded, so throwing more cores at it doesn't really help.

To put it in perspective a while ago I did a PPPoE test between two CCR1072 routers and achieved about 3.5gbps of iperf throughput.

4 or 8gbps over PPPoE would some serious processing power on the CPE

Go on, you know you want to...

Probably because the PPP process will be single threaded and only using 1 CPU core. Leaves the other 71 with not much to do!

oh I know I want to, but I’m terrified it would actually work and I’d be forced to head out and buy a whole load of new kit which my wife definitely does not want me to do…yet 😂 In the meantime, shall sit on my hands!
