We are a combination fiber and fixed wireless ISP with around 20k subscribers.

Management is wanting to develop something along the lines of a captive portal for suspended accounts such that those 
customers are forced to a portal that allows them to make payment and get reactivated.

This is a common thing for a cafe wifi hotspot or something, but has anyone here attempted to do it at this kind of 
scale who would be willing to share their experiences? If someone has successfully done this, I would love to pick 
your brain a bit to understand how you accomplished it.

Thanks much.
