Re: Anyone Else Changed To PPPoA
Sky has been switching various ADSL connections back to PPPoA, instead of MER.
Others can use either MER or PPPoA, whilst a few a locked in to MER.
We don't know why this is happening, but it is really helpful for those who want to use their own routers.

Re: Anyone Else Changed To PPPoA
No problem.
My own connection is on PPPoA, which is great for me. Currently there is only Billion who have compiled a firmware for use with Sky's MER connections. Everyone else needs to use PPPoA.
