We use QinQ per customer SVLAN/CVLAN which is easy to set on cambium.  If
the account isn't valid, radius returns reject to the BNG and the circuit
isn't authorized.  Never bothered to do a splash page with it but it would
be easy enough to put disabled accounts into a routing instance that
directed to a splash page.  For people who do this, how effective is it?
It feels like half our customers don't use their laptops more than
occasionally unless they work from home.  It's mostile apps on the phone
and you need to deliberately go to a http site on a web browser if you want
to catch a splash page.  Back when we did tons of MDU Wi-Fi we pretty much
had someone spending 1/4 of their time keeping up with captive portal
stuff to make it work with every new OS / web browser version.
