[[File:LineOptionsLCPFix.png|none|frame|Re-negotiates PPP after acquiring the connection from BT, who may provide 1500 MTU when it should be 1492 MTU.]]

'''More Info:''' During the PPP connection when your router initially syncs up and logs in to us, the PPP connection is passed via BT. Sometimes BT can change the MTU. With this option we will accept the PPP connection from BT, but will then renegotiate the PPP connection with your router allowing the MTU to be reduced. On TalkTalk connections the MTU is always negotiated as 1492 MTU, you will need to select LCPFix and 1500 MTU to fix this, otherwise the LNS will use 1492 MTU when renegotiating.
