PPPOE works well only on perfect networks. I have 1000s of users running on pppoe and mysteriously some nas / users logs out at the same time. Comparing with hotspot it has more resiliency to sustain network drops. Even latency going high will make the users logout. I'd shifted most of the users to hotspot. Reason is yet to be found and networks on fibre optic do sometimes suffer same problem but very less. In your case or anyone's case the logs will be telling peer not responding. AFAIK ppppoe is useless unless the networks are on technologies like gepon, adsl etc but not worth running on wireless or ethernet. I'd seen where wireless p2p having 80+ aggregated throughput still the users logs out at the same time when required bandwiddth is not even 30% of throughput.
