For 99% of customers they probably just push the change out to the router, so they wouldn't have to do anything.

What they should have in there is something along the lines of "If you're using a non 2D router, then see www.xyz.com for new settings.

Yeah, they just assume you're using their supplied router - if you're swapped it out, then how they meant to know, and hope you know what you're doing :)

They may not know on a per-customer basis, but they should have some awareness that some people will have their own hardware. Particularly when they were a bit "geeky" in the Snap days.

Given they are pushing out settings to customers - surely they would have a record of receipt (of settings), or a record of systems being online/available post push?

What would they do with it? It's not practical to contact every customer that the update didn't go through for. It's a given if you're using non ISP gear then you need to support that yourself.

I'm slightly confused here. I thought from discussion previous threads that the vocus stack that 2degrees users are being migrated to. Is supposed to be dual stack dhcp or pppoe, so if that info is correct, on paper being migrated shouldn't break existing devices setup for pppoe....

I wonder if there is a slight change in what pppoe settings are accepted on the vocus stack vs the snap stack that people are being migrated off?

That could be the case - as per my first post - I experienced a minor outage the day prior to this happening, but it self rectified (with a bit of a kick onthe ont which i assume did some kind of line reset/establishment.

Its feasible something broken on there end with the migration, then started working again, then broke again.
