This is how I did it with Mikrotik back in the 2000's. It's how Powercode has done it since at least 2008. With SSL grabbing anything and everything, you typically get the bad cert page but when customers see that they call to complain rather than unplug things. A "Error no internet" makes people move wires. Any more it's a tool to avoid a truck roll because the customer did something they shouldn't after they didn't pay their bill (I believe "these people" often go together like PBnJ).
As far as captive portals, phones do a great job these days with their internet check to msft/Google/Apple.
