after step 3
add a route to your vpn server, since you are getting your eth0 ip address from dhcp, static routes will not apply until such time.
once done, add the vpn server dns address and ip to /etc/hosts
then use, route del default
now, pon myVPN, add the default line to the config file, ppp only adds a default route only if one does not exist, since eth0 default route already existed, you had to manually enter it
as for the 2 results, after which changes did u get an increase?

Now it's not working anymore.
1) As far as I can tell, iptables is not enabled
2) su:ing
3) dhcpcd eth0 // got IP
4) route add IP.TO.MY.VPN eth0 // tried without eth0, or ppp0; eth0 was the only thing that worked to set
5) added the IP I connect to, and their DNS servers // so three ips in a list was added
6) route del default
7) pon MYVPN // doesn't connect, no ppp0 interfaces is available
8) route add default ppp0
No ppp0 shows up this time. I can't connect at all.

I got changes in bandwidth when I did the last configuration and "it was stable" all day..
But still, the bandwidth is a 50% loss.

change step 3 to
route add <ip.to.vpn> gw <eth0.default.gateway.ip> dev eth0
in myVPN ppp conf file, change the vpn server name to its ip address,
e.g, pty "pptp 11.22.33.44 --nolaunchpppd"
this will not do dns lookups, now proceed to steps 6,7
no need to do step 8 as ppp will auto add a default route if the line default is added to the conf file.

I've always entered a manual IP instead of my VPN's dns.
as su:
1) dhcpcd eth0
2) route add <VPN.IP.I.CONNECT.TO> gw <GATEWAY.FROM.MY.ISP> dev eth0
3) route del default
4) pon myVPN
ping www.google.com
ping: unknown host www.google.com

As far as I can tell from the routing table, shouldn't there be any indication of the IP I get from my ISP?

looks like ppp0 is not automatically set as your default gateway, i dont know why but it should. did u add the default parameter in the myVPN config.
if it doesnt work now, try setting ppp0 as default route manually.
route shows only the routes, not the interface ip, use ifconfig to get the ip assigned to u by your isp.
