That's normal. You can forget about eth0 when you use pppoe.

I am guessing but look at /etc/network/interfaces. Remove or comment
out any interfaces you don't need. That includes eth0.

Not sure again, but to me it doesn't. I don't think this is your
problem.

If normal means eth0 as default route, this explains your problem.
You need to think of ppp0 as your interface to the "internet". So
default route should go through ppp0.
Do you run a firewall? I use Shorewall. At one time, I am not sure
if my suggestion was accepted and included, the sample files
suggested that you should specify eth0 when you were using a cable
modem. With DHCP this is true, not so with pppoe.
