BT uses PPPoE for DSL.
There is nothing fancy about its DSL settings.
But not knowing what your modem is, who knows where it is going wrong?
If you are using the dreaded HomeHub, then it is probably a modem/router. And one that you cannot put into modem only (bridge) mode.

That could be true. Does that mean that BT _never_ uses PPPoA?
Do you think that BT provided bad information to this fellow? Or
that he failed to convey correct information here? Or what?
I can't speak for BT with the same authority as some of us claim to,
but I do know that CenturyLink uses both PPPoA and PPPoE in different
places, typically depending on the equipment (DSLAM, say) which is
available in different central offices and/or historical policy
decisions.
