Is it possible to dial up two PPPoE connections from a single Modem in bridge mode?

Technically, This is possible but it really depends on your LCO/ISP.

In my case it was BSNL and after a shortwhile I just gave up on it and bought another ONT. I think the problem is, They need to associate multiple VLANs(for each pppoe connection) to a single PON link and my LCO had no clue about it and neither did anyone in the BSNL office in my district.

Assuming there is no MAC binding involved, is this setup possible?

And this shouldn't be a problem at all. The MAC address they see on their end is of the device on which you created PPPoE connection. If you'll be configuring PPPoE connections on 1 router, You can change the MAC address of underlying interfaces used as WAN and it should work.

I mean multiple customers are served from a single fiber link, so I was wondering if it was possible and I would like to give this a try sometime in the near future.
As for the MAC address, ya you are correct, but I just mentioned it to clear some hurdles if any related to it.

I've used two different ISP on different VLANs with a single ONT, with a single cable coming to my router.

I've not tried two PPPoE with same ISP, different accounts.

Ok, so I tried the same with a single cable with the same ISP and same VLAN, but then in OpenWRT, it just fails. If I stop the original PPPoE connection, the second one works. 🤔

But I think it should work, would definitely need different mac addresses I think.

Seems like what I'm trying to achieve will be possible, but I will not know unless I try it, so Thanks for the input everyone.
I will try to update this thread if it won't be too old by then.
