Some of AT&T's fiber acquisitions still use PPPoE including CenturyLink and Quantum's fiber offerings (acquired from Lumen).

Quantum Fiber doesn't use PPPoE, it uses IPoE w/ VLAN tagging using VLAN 201, which is a common approach for legacy GPON networks. CenturyLink Fiber does use PPPoE, but I believe only the authentication portion of PPPoE, but I have never had CenturyLink Fiber so I can't say for certain.
