Surely it depends on what options it has been set up with. From the pppd 
manual page, detailing what options pppd can be given...

     defaultroute
         Add a default route to the system routing tables, using the peer
         as the gateway, when IPCP negotiation is successfully completed.
         This  entry  is removed when the PPP connection is broken.  This
         option is privileged if the nodefaultroute option has been spec-
         ified.

     replacedefaultroute
         This  option  is  a flag to the defaultroute option. If default-
         route is set and this flag is also set, pppd replaces an  exist-
         ing default route with the new default route.

So the OP needs to check what options are specified when pppd is invoked.
