That would spell "support apocalypse" in any residential ISP I've ever
used, and a shortcut to "we can't make payroll" via "all the customers
have gone". I have never seen it outside hotel/retail guest networks.

Do you have any measurements to support "fairly common"? If that's
right and my experience is atypical it's the kind of thing I'd like to
understand.
