Technical Implementation
Verizon High Speed Internet is implemented using PPPoE for 'east' customers, and DHCP for 'west' customers. As a result, east customers need a username and password, but west customers do not. East customers are customers formerly serviced by the RBOCs Bell Atlantic and NYNEX. West customers are customers formerly serviced by one of the seven GTE operating companies retained by Verizon.

Famous quotes containing the word technical:
“The axioms of physics translate the laws of ethics. Thus, “the whole is greater than its part;” “reaction is equal to action;” “the smallest weight may be made to lift the greatest, the difference of weight being compensated by time;” and many the like propositions, which have an ethical as well as physical sense. These propositions have a much more extensive and universal sense when applied to human life, than when confined to technical use.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
