Hey

 

I've just signed up (changing in early December) after the mess that is now 2degrees - when I called to fix a billing issue (contract credit stopped early) that was harder more complicated process to fix (30 min call) than a disconnection (3 mins)! Glad they have optimised the termination process as will be heavy use for sure!

 

Now, I'm just wondering if it's possible to use DHCP instead of PPPoE?

 

Which will make the transition seamless (vs having to put PPPoE back into the edge router config again).

 

Happy to sign up for beta (but not an option as the connection's not live so no drop down the the account tab) if that will provide DHCP access..

Some of us have been beta testing IPoE so DHCP connections are getting close.

If you want to sign up to be a beta tester you can apply to do so. The application process can be found in the Quic portal, there’s also a sticky about it.

Yep, understand the sticky post, but that was 2 months ago, and the pace they are moving with the upgrades (iI was checking to see if anyone had it enabled via the beta (if that was an option).

 

All good, still on the to do list.

I’m testing IPoE also. It’s good, works well, somewhat stable but it is still in beta as I’m pretty sure it’s around them basically ripping out and replacing their whole network.

Great progress is being made on this however and I think it’ll be released for all quite soon. It’s a huge job though.

Another user on IPoE (DHCP) here. Very happy with how it's going. Also made the jump from Edgerouter to OpnSense and it was very easy to configure with DHCP. I'm sure the wider public will get access soon.
