PPPOE Manual Connection

Hey Guys

This might seem like a rudimentary question but i cant seem to find an answer or maybe i just dont know what terms to search for, in any case.

If you use a manual pppoe connection on your pc via a router while the router has a pppoe setup running on it already what happens as far as the speed and which connection the computer uses for its internet is concerned

Your computer will use its "dialup" connection before it uses the router's connection.
Speed - the line's speed will be shared equally between all transfers on the line, all things being equal. Which they aren't, normally.

This is what I assumed that the preferred gateway would be the manual pppoe connection and that the line speed would be "shared"

Exactly, as for the sharing... Think of it as two people are connected to the same router via an ethernet cable and are using the internet at the same time. The connection / line speed will still be shared in a similar manner.
