Back when I originally had to look into this, several knowledgeable folks
strongly recommended this to me . . . but I no longer recalled all the reasons
why. I think one may be that it makes setting up a home network (more than
one box, with each box having internet access with the best setup flexibility --
something the Telcos definitely did not want you to do, but were hard-pressed
to prevent) much easier. It may also be a superior quality of service. I do
recall that PPoE was considered quite kludgy, and a PITA for OS/2 users.
There wasn't much support for it. I could well be wrong, but that's how I
remember it.
