That's possible, but it's a waste of IP addresses in a time when many companies are struggling to get enough of them.

However I thought the reason VMB still can't offer fixed IP addresses on the 152 Mb/s service was their equipment has issues with PPP at higher speeds, which implies that it is PPP(oE) from the Superhub.
Well, PPPoL2TP is not PPPoE but it's still PPP.

So a few differing views on how this works....
Indeed. Ignition is usually right about these things but he's so far not said anything to explain the clear discrepancies between his suggestion of PPPoE to the CMTS and your logs showing PPPoL2TP to some unknown location.
