Can you explain how this works?

  I don't know if it's being done. The web requests your browser sends to ad networks (or other colluding web properties) from vpn exit addresses, when analyzed as an aggregate, can be identified based on their time/length signatures. These would be correlated by the isp with traffic between vpn termination addresses and customer addresses. ISP can resolve a customer address to person. Advertisers could add unique timing and size features to make this easier.

    They know the address they provide service to.
