There are lots of placebo anecdotes to argue the merits of either one.
And some ISP's blindly use an MTU of 1492 (or lower) anyway.
I'm with Internode and using a Traverse Technologies Solos card with PPPoA. I had to reduce my MTU to 1496 bytes. Packets above 1496 never reached the destination - if I remember rightly, they didn't reach the gateway either. I don't know why, however.
