That is correct.  At home I converted to the new PPPOE and fast speed. 
I've went from 0 downtime to one or two reboots a month on the GDuo.  
The only reason why I did not want to switch at this remote was because
I wanted 0 downtime.  I did not even want the hour required the set it
up.  Otherwise I would have converted a year ago to get faster speed.
