Even today, people are deploying multiple subnets in their homes.
For example, Apple's Airport allows you to trivially set up a
"guest" network that uses a different prefix (192.168.0.0/24) and
different SSID than your "normal" network (10.0.1.0/24).

Clearly, you think you're in the right and that you're making a
valid and salient point. I see the above as unreasonable rationale.
The very definition of "trivial" I would contend here - I honestly
don't know a single resi user who has even logged into their
modem/router. They're shipped with the username/password already
entered by many ISPs these days, so they don't even have to set it
up, they just plug it an and "use the internet".

I can order VOIP and IP-TV services from the broadband provider I use at home. This is realised by using a separate subnet per service, so with VOIP+IPTV+Internet I'm already using three distinct subnets. I don't have to configure anything - that's all handled by my ISP. I just have to connect the IP telephone and IPTV tuner to the correct port on the CPE and I'm ready to go.

Best regards,
