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:
“I rather think the cinema will die. Look at the energy being exerted to revive it—yesterday it was color, today three dimensions. I don’t give it forty years more. Witness the decline of conversation. Only the Irish have remained incomparable conversationalists, maybe because technical progress has passed them by.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
