rp-pppoe is in my eyes the more useable package, as it supports the clamping of
the MSS, which you really need in most cases for reliable transfer. anyway,
mouse-pppoe is the think which looks better to me :)

i use rp-pppoe without any problems since several months now.

486/40 with 1mbps will be a bit small for 1mbit, but attribute "tryable".
768 kbit with 486/66 worked fine here.

mouse-pppoe is faster i think, you may want to try this first, but if you seem
to get no replies to http queries on some servers, you should give rp-pppoe a
chance to try this. i had several problems with mouse-pppoe in our t-online
network in germany, as some routers of them seem to be misconfigured.
