Yes this looks a lot better, thank you. Although I must confess that it certainly feels counter-intuitive that for ethernet (and FTTH) we suggest a higher overhead than e.g. VDSL2/cable (which themselves run off an ethernet interface). I would also like to see some info about ppp vs ethernet interface in there (matching your previous email): unless you beat me to it I will add it. I also think the « details » page needs to be reformatted a bit, it’s very dense and relevant info is all over the place and not very well organized. I’ll try to get around improving that.
