      After much frustration, and ATT field tech time I finally have all three circuits loadbalanced.

      A CliffNotes versions of what happened to follow.

      After getting three separate IPDSL circuits piped and installed at my house (ATT Business customer), I can uplink my laptop into each modem, pull an IP from it's internal DHCP range, and successfully surf.

      Getting some help from this guy: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=28121.0

      I wound up setting each Motorola NVG510 like the following:

      No wireless
      DHCP range: 192.168.15.102-103
          2nd modem: 192.160.15.104-105
        3rd modem: 192.168.15.106-107
      DHCP Lease 1 day (default)
      Disabled IPv6
      Firewall>ALL off except IP Passthrough.
      Ip Passthrough: DHCPS-Fixed
      entered MAC for WAN1 nic into modem 1, WAN2 nic into modem2, etc
      DHCP Lease: 3 minutes  (lowest it would go)

      then you are forced to restart each modem.
      Now within PF I set each of the three WAN interfaces to only IPv4, DHCP, and Block Bogon Networks.  Nothing else within each interface.
      Now under System>general Setup.DNS Servers I made sure I had three different DNS servers specified for each WAN interface. 
      Under System>Routing I editted each interface and made sure the Monitor IP was unique to each interface.
      After all that I noticed under Status>Gateways all three were up and green.

      I then followed the steps outlined on https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=28121.0
      By creating the routing group then the firewall Lan Net rule and VIOLA!



      Granted I do not know why WAN2-3 have no renewed an external IP passthrough from the modem.  If anyone know how to actually test the load balancing I'm all ears.
