This is no science fiction. Some big providers in some countries limit the number of device that can connect to internet. You have to register the MAC address of your single PC (which, by the way, is expected to run Windows or MacOS)
For a lot of people, it is always possible to vote with your wallet.
If a provider is too restrictive for you, choose another one. I pay my fees to the ISP I feel is worthy to have me as customer. So if they want my money, they must please me. But I am also willing to pay a bit more to a competitor who can fulfil my demands if my current provider does not deliver according to the agreement and my expectations
Of course this is not possible in places where there are only one option. But then try to approach, if possible, other ISPs anyway, to see what they can offer you.
