I find that hard to believe if it really is their Plan 999 (that sounds
like a bad movie btw ;). The PLDT MyDSL residential plans always use
PPPoE from what I know. It's only their business DSL offerings that
allow direct use of DHCP, and they are generally more expensive.
That's what I thought too, and what Ian Sison told me. However, when
the DSL installer came over yesterday, he didn't do anything like
PPPoE. He just set to interface to request an available IP, restarted
the computer (probably not necessary, but there was a delay in
activating DSL at the PLDT side, so he restarted the computer a few
times until it finally got an IP).
It seems there's a delay in pushing the paperwork from the contractor to
PLDT too, so PLDT is not yet officially informed that we're a subscriber.
So they wouldn't tell my brother-in-law which wifi routers are known to
work with myDSL's auth. They won't tell us our PPPoE authentication
credentials yet either (the installer didn't have them at all), until
they
get the paperwork.

Im using a wifi router.. linksys wrt54g. Its working just fine. Anyway..
pldt no longer gives out those authentication thingies.. i already asked
the guy who connected dsl here at home... He said that users no longer
need them as the modem is already pre-configured as a bridge. So they
dont know either. They just went here and connected the modem to our pc
restarted set it to dhcp then that was it. After which I setup my own
network here at home and i just set my linksys wifi router to dhcp as well.
