Funny story: between 2007 and 2008 O2 Czech Republic offered a new ADSL
plan called Internet ADSL Start. On contrary to other plans this one
didn't have a data limit but instead was charged per number of minutes
on-line. Marketing department probably wanted to reuse old billing
systems from the era of dial-up.

For the purpose of measuring online time, modems were shipped in bridge
mode and  PPPoE connection was established from the connected computer
whenever customer wanted to "connect to the internet". By that time,
there were no smartphones nor tablets, even laptops were not that
common. I guess there was only one PPPoE session supported per line.

BTW, I wish somebody from O2 CZ reads this BCOP document, especially
section 3.2.3. about problems with assigning less then /56. They are
running a big deployment of IPv6 on xDSL broadband lines offering only
/64 via PD with no option to get more addresses (not even for an extra
payment). Their reaction on any complaints always is that their setup is
sufficient for 99 % of customers and they don't see it worthy to support
the 1 % of trouble-making customers (which is kind of
same argumentation others use for not deploying IPv6 at all).
