Confirmed this patch also work perfectly on 14.04.
pptp-linux-1.7.2-7

It's a SHAME that such a good fix is not yet in the "official" package.
It seems that debian mantainer doesn't care too.

Title:
  pptp stops receiving packets when bandwidth spike

Status in “pptp-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in Arch Linux:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: pptp-linux

  I've had this problem since long ago, when downloading at high speed
  (ubuntu images from my uni's network and similar) my network
  connection would become unresponsive, and I had to reconnect. This hit
  me real hard today, as it kept happening while I was browsing a single
  youtube clip.

  My dorm uses PPTP to connect to the net, and we have a fairly juicy
  line (~100mbps). I've researched a bit, and tried to adjust the
  MISSING_WINDOW in pqueue.h to 6000 from 300 (per [1] and [2]), and I
  think this fixed my problem.

  I guess this could've been fixed upstream already, but still would be
  nice to have this backported if possible. If nothing else, this bug-
  report might help someone else with the same problem.
