A fair number if you include customers who are tunnelled in PPPoE and have their MTU set to 1492.

I'm a bit of a newbie on this side of things so apologies if this is a stupid question.

So, with a situation like what Simon describes above what tends to fix the issue of the (generally) default TCP MSS of 1460 not fitting inside of this. Does path MTU discovery tend to fix this, or does change TCP MSS on a CPE (or BNG?) tend to fix it instead?
