    Could you include your ppp.conf file? (without passwords)
    Does the connection fail or connect successfully?

    If you can connect but having traffic issues check your mtu and mru's
    This works for me using a diff ISP thats also using Bell lines in Montreal...

     set device PPPoE:ed0
     set authname username@isp
     set authkey password
     set cd 5
     set mtu max 1366
     set mru 1492
     set redial 0
     set timeout 120
     set ifaddr 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/24 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
     add default HISADDR
