Even if the problem is on your ISP end, we should investigate it and
find at least a workaround for you.
Can you provide me with full tcpdumps of PPPoE session under problem?
Use tcpdump -w dumpfile -npi fxp0, where fxp0 is your network card.

Problematic part of ppp.log should be helpful, too.

Are you using ppp(8)? If you do can you try mpd from ports? In opposite
case can you try ppp(8)? :)
