I've been an Orcon customer for about 8 years.

 

 

 

Since being on Fibre I've had continuing issues whenever swapping routers (something I do somewhat frequently). DHCP does not give an IP address and the new device sits trying, doing nothing.

 

 

 

Every time this has happened it's always been a case of calling and getting an IPoE? session reset done and then things are away going again.

 

 

 

This time (today), they don't seem to be willing / able to do it. Telling me I'm potentially without internet for a few days.

 

 

 

Does anyone else have these issues swapping routers with Orcon? I'm very much done with it and thinking of moving to a PPPoE based provider.

The system only allows one session at a time. Even though you turn your modem off, the DHCP session remains up. This way you keep your IP address etc when power cycling the modem etc, or even if the BNG on our side resets.

 

However this does have the issue where if you swap modems, you do need to wait until the previous session times out.
