my isp -- a local venture in poland -- did around 2008.

they request we use ms windows on the router/gateway machine, instead of `some 
strange os' -- linux. otherwise they won't take responsibility for the 
downtime we were having.  turned out, they forgot to whitelist our MAC 
address.

but hey -- it worked with their technician's ms windows notebook.
