      @ziarmal So you need different interfaces on pfsense to bind each pppoe
      It can be physical ports or virtual, by using a managed switch, a trunk port and as many vlans as your connections.

          @ziarmal How many interfaces do you have available?
          Make it work over physical and then read about trunking and vlans

              @ziarmal Are the user names different?

                  @ziarmal Remove opt1 from vtnet0

                  Each one of this on its own works?
                  And it uses different cpe?
                  400 connections? and then what?

                  Post a diagram of what you are trying to do.
                  Start with 2-3 connections.. No more
