You can add multiple ppp clients under interfaces using wan. You will need to edit the routing to establish what goes accross what connection.
Haven't worked on mikrotik for a while but believe you can take off default route on pppoe connection.
Google it and there should be lots of setup wikis
I googled it, got many closest idea, but didn't got the desired post.
Tell me more about:
I will tell u what I really need to know:
1. I got only 2 port/interface.
2. I need to dial 2 pppoe clients over the single wan interface.
When I make the 2 new pppoe client over the single wan interface I get an error.
The 2 pppoe clients can't be dialed at the same time. When pppoe1 says connected the pppoe2 says disconnected.
What to do? Tell me in detail as I am new to this broadband business.

Have you tried creating 2 separate virtual interfaces using the Wan port. Then assign pppoe1 to virtual port 1 and the same for pppoe2 to virtual port 2.

Been down this road many times and haven't come up with a solution myself. Mikrotik are super flexible but super painful to configure. Also the people who know their stuff are mostly too full of themselves to come down to your level to help. Perhaps that's being unfair - perhaps they don't actually know what they're doing but claim they do.

Tested it & it work's for me (WAN is single ADSL, pppoe is two separate ISP's ):
Could be either a concurrent session limit or security lock from your ISP preventing both connections being established simultaneously.

If it works for you then it will works for me too as I can dial 2 pppoe at the same time with 2 different port/interface.
Just tell me what to do.
Yap.
But vlan couldn't make the thing happened & is there something to do with routing & MTU, MRU?

...could also be your modem refusing to dial two sessions?
Nope I am using Tp-link TD8950NDv2
I can dial 2 pppoe client over 2 port
But I need to dial 2 pppoe client over only one single port

What exactly is the error from the log when trying to establish both connections?
It's very basic to set up, looks exactly the same as you have it: two pppoe clients configured to use the same interface to connect. All other settings are left to default, only entered User & Password details.
What version of ROS are you running? try updating to the latest version.
If it still won't work, as a last resort, try resetting your Tik back to factory defaults, and create your config from fresh.
The above looks like you do not have the TPLink in "Bridged Mode"
In other words, one device should be doing the dial/authentication
I run my ADSL Modem (Single ethernet port, no Wireless) in BridgedMode with my Mikrotik RB750 doing the Dialing, Routing, authentification, DHCP, DNS etc, etc,
My Adsl router is already in bridge mode.
I told u that I can dial 2 or more pppoe over 2 or more port but can't dial 2 or more pppoe over only a single port.

Thanks for the vid. As mentioned, it could be a problem with the version of ROS you are running.
Check out the change logs for version 6
Search for "pppoe"
In v6.3:
I'm running v6.7 tested on RB2011 with exactly the same config as you (less the vlans) and it definitely works...
Also try:
Create a Bridge on WAN, configure one or both pppoe's to use it as their interface.
P.S: If you're using the cracked/TPB version of ROS 5.2 don't expect it to work properly!

As I can see u did that right. Did u do anything with routing or something else? If yes tell me, if no than my isp or my adsl router blocking me to dial multiple pppoe over single port.

eham2011,
To establish 2xPPPoE connections is the first step. Once you have the connections running you can start configuring the routing based on the 2 ISP connections. Routing setup should not impact on the PPPoE connections.
Let's troubleshoot a bit; can you establish 1xPPPoE connection with the Mikrotik?
Make sure that the WAN ethernet port is not a slave port or assigned to a bridge. The port that connects your modem should be separate from all the other interfaces. Other than that (and of course a modem in bridge mode) you should have not issue dialing the PPPoE connections. What is the Status of the connection? "Disconnected"? It should atleast indicate some activity. Otherwise it could be that your modem does not support bridge mode etc.
I use a Dlink 2500 U router in bridge mode. Ensure that the modem DSL setup is correct. e.g: Encapsulation, VPI, VCI, etc
As I said earlier, lets start with a single active PPPoE connection and take it from there.
