I think most of operator uses at least one of compression methods to
save bandwidth. Turning off these options is unwise.

This command tells pppd to add your vodafone PPP connection as default
route.

This should be done earlier by pppd, thus not necessary.

No. Set up routing correctly. PPP scripts allow to start commands on
creating and destroying PPP connection.

you are correct. There should be only one default GW.

Are you sure. Few lines above you have mentioned, that you have two
GW... anyway, I would avoid setting up routing to your PC host via usb0
interface as a default route. Use static route instead.
