| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## What |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +If you have no intentions to use the locked down, cheap Vodafone router that they supply you, you will need to have the PPPoE credentials |
| 8 | +in order to use a third party router. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +If you are unsure what PPPoE is, please refer to the [Wikipedia page on PPPoE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Protocol_over_Ethernet) |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Some notes |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +As far as I can tell, this guide will only work on CityFibre, due to the VLAN. However the rest of the guide remains true |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +## Getting your PPPoE credentials |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +You will need to contact customer service. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +Be firm but polite around needing the credentials. They will give you the usual garbage about how _uSINg A thiRD parTy RouTEr May ADd isSuES aND InSTability WE MaY NOt be ABle to troubLEsHoOT iSsUEs_ - and to that I say... Poo you! |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +You can use the below |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +```text |
| 25 | +Hello Support. Please provide me with the PPPoE username and password for my connection. |
| 26 | +
|
| 27 | +I need this copy and pasted in to the chat, as some characters (like 0 and o) look similar. |
| 28 | +
|
| 29 | +If possible please can you text this to me |
| 30 | +``` |
| 31 | + |
