As someone who just switched from an IPoE internet service to PPPoE, just make sure your device can cope. I have been using a trusty Ubiquiti Edgerouter Lite 3 for many years without issue. Unfortunately, the Cavium cpu does not support hardware offload for both ipv6 vlan and ipv6 pppoe at the same time.

If you do go down the general-purpose cpu (x64/arm) route and your ISP uses PPPoE, you may need to tweak so that the rx queue is handled by multiple cpu cores as they will default to the first core by default.



I was so pleased to switch to IPoE even on my UDM SE. The speeds are much more consistent now. Sky in the UK have been fantastic for FTTP.
