Subject: [gentoo-user] {OT} ISP requires MTU below 1500?

1 A while back I was having networking issues. I eventually tried
2 drastically lowering the MTU of all the systems onsite and the issues
3 disappeared. I always thought the issue was due to the MTU on our
4 modem/router. Today I read that AT&T DSL requires a 1492 MTU so I
5 increased the MTU of our systems up to 1492 and haven't had any
6 issues. Do certain ISPs require you to change the MTU of your entire
7 network, or is this likely due to our AT&T modem/router itself?
