2. Broadband Type

Choose the broadband (Internet connection) type you use; there are six types of Internet connections:

Cable Modem	- Please go to section 2-3-1
Fixed-IP xDSL	- Please go to section 2-3-2
PPPoE xDSL	- Please go to section 2-3-3
PPTP xDSL	- Please go to section 2-3-4
L2TP xDSL	- Please go to section 2-3-5
Telstra Big Pond	- Please go to section 2-3-6

Cable Modem and PPPoE xDSL are the most common connection types. If you're not sure which service you have, contact your Internet service provider (ISP). You will not be able to connect to the internet if the wrong connection type is chosen.

NOTE: DSL Internet Service Providers normally operate using the PPPoE protocol, thus, "PPPoE xDSL" should be the Broadband Type. However, in recent years more DSL ISPs provide customers with DSL Modems which handle the PPPoE portion of the Internet Access automatically. In those cases you must select "Cable Modem" as your Broadband type, even if you have a DSL service.
