According to ICONZ orginally they had everyone on static ips but there were a few people who didn't know what they were doing and using the wrong IP - the ip of other users, and I think we all know the result of this.

Thus ICONZ have decided that everyone has to go PPPoE

Guess it makes sense, just ain't isn't too pretty

pptp(GRE) or ipsec, possibly a variety of other proprietry options. And
also many less common things (like vtun or ssh tunnels)

But really, is authentication necessary?
