As of yet... it has not been approved --
That's unfortunate but there could be business decisions behind it. Netgate does not engage that hard with the European market or make any real effort to market their products here in the UK.
The UK distributers don't exactly push the products either; one of them actively avoids calls when it comes to Netgate hardware, whilst the other openly comments that Netgate prices are just too high when compared to those in the US market.
Still, pfSense and Negate do have an established customer base here so perhaps resources may become available at some point to look at markets dogged by PPPoE vs FreeBSD. Upstream changes are more challenging but I remain convinced that more can be done with tuning behind the scenes, triggered by the end-user when they select the PPPoE option on the GUI.
One thing for certain is that high-bandwidth PPPoE is being deployed rapidly in some countries - the problem is only getting bigger.
