You probably have your default route going through your ethernet before starting pppd, and pppd doesn't remove it.
Either:
  1) Remove the ether defaultroute (it's not necessary if you've got only
     one network, and if you've just got a few of them, add manual routes)
  2) Set up the defaultroute in an ip-up script and re-establish the 
     previous one in an ip-down script.
