DSL Issues (questions for provider)
DSL modems use VPI (Virtual Path Indicator) and VCI (Virtual Channel Indicator) settings. Ask, "Does my area have any different vpi/vci channel to boost performance?" (Rarely should higher speed service be required as our packets are small.)
DSL service may manage performance via PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) or Port Forwarding. Ask: "Is my modem using PPPoE or Port Forwarding? Is it on the most efficient performance setting possible for this area?"
