can you ping 212.1.128.28

also I notice that your gateway is ipaddress 192.168.1.100.  To communicate with
the outside world the gateway should be the ppp0 device.

man route tells me commands similar to

route del default gw 
route add default gw 212.1.128.28

might do the trick without disconnecting.

/etc/ppp/options should include defaultroute as an option.
