Ugh. The flip side of this is that the ISPs in question will be bogged down by a million calls from 75 year old grandparents who can't check their grandkids' Facebook pages for pictures of the family BBQ, and trying to talk them through it. In essence, the ISP becomes free (but encumbered) technical support, trying to talk nontechnical people through virus/trojan removal over the phone, with the cost of failure being a cancelled account ("since you guys won't let me go online").
