The old one was 255.255.255.255, ask them to rather put you on 255.255.255.255 or 255.255.255.255 otherwise try the 255.255.255.255 one.
A PPPOE connection is point to point, you have an ip, the server has an ip. Your subnet mask is always 255.255.255.255.
Check for viruses
Check your telkom signal
Check your ping times
Check speedtest
Try another ISP see if it makes a difference
Likely scenario if your adsl connection is fine and you don't have virii could be a congested exchange.

Lol don't be mean.
A subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 means that there is only one IP on that subnet, which will be your router's external IP. I would be worried if they hand out anything other than 255.255.255.255 on dynamic IP products as it will put you on the same subnet as other users.

I seriously doubt that, your internal network is most likely 255.255.255.0
Anyway whatever it is won't affect your speed.
did affect my speed(the speed like turtle climb tree.) my old external Should be 255.255.255.0
