This doesn't make sense to me. Service is provided through your DSL signal. If you disconnect with billing, then they will cut off your signal, and poof! no more service. Registering your MAC address will do you no good. It seems more likely that they are only offering PPPoX because they feel it is more manageable and flexible (though this is arguable). Randy S.
