The reason a new ISP will use VLAN10 is because it's less friction when a customer brings their old router over from a provider who uses it.

 

Then it's a matter of just moving the connection and you're done.

 

If the ISP isn't ordering tagged connections, then when the customer BYOD's then they need to talk their customer through logging into their device and moving the DHCP/PPPoE interface onto an untagged port of their CPE. That's a support call/cost.

 

It's a numbers game - more customers are going to have a VLAN10 connection than aren't, due to the fact all the big players with the most customers use it.

 

PPPoE is great for maintaining state easily (so you know when the connection is down) but it adds the overhead of the CPE having to encap/deencap every packet.  This can, depending on the CPE, make a big difference to maximum throughput a CPE can achieve.

WIth 2Degrees, they seem to have switched from PPPoE to DHCP. Presently both seem to work, buth their help pages are now saying use DHCP:

 

If you've purchased your own modem for your Fibre connection, you'll want to make sure it supports DHCP authentication and VLAN tagging. You should be able to find this information in the documentation that came along with your new modem or directly on the manufacturer’s website.

 

If you have a Fibre connection, use these settings:

 

  • WAN Connection Type: DHCP (Automatic IP/Dynamic IP/IP over Ethernet)
  • 802.1Q: Enabled
  • VLAN ID (802.1Q): 10
  • 802.1P (Priority): 0
  • IP Version: IPv4 or IPv6
  • MTU Size: 1492 or 1500
  • NAT: Enabled
  • NAT: Enabled

I can switch back and forth between PPPoE and DHCP and both work, I can't sense much difference between the connections.
