The config works - just don't think it is optimal. I structured it based on the 
mpd5.conf.sample and some other configurations stolen from dslreports.com.

I am looking more for advised MRU/MTU, and MRRU values for the links and the 
bundle as a whole as I do not believe my settings are optimal. I have tested a 
2link configuration with similar values and obtained very, very fast speeds. 
Adding the 3rd link with the settings below does improve the speed, but I do 
not feel it is as fast as it should be. 

Repsectfully,

Not my area of best knowledge but a couple of points..
Use 'load' to abstract away common items from the links
Try not to reference things until after they are defined..

is this working? and if not, what happens?
(keep list on Cc please)

default:
        load DSL

common:
        set link max-redial 0
        set link keep-alive 10 60
        set pppoe service "teksavvy"
        set link enable multilink
        set link enable shortseq
        set link disable protocomp
        set link mrru 1500
#       set link mru 1500
        set link mtu 1492
        set link bandwidth 5056000
        set link action bundle B1

L1:
        create link static L1 pppoe
        set auth authname x...@wiredhighspeed.com
        set auth password xxx
        set pppoe iface fxp1
