Story: With ISPs like these, who needs enemies?

Botnets are not just the source of DDOS attacks, they are becoming the source of all evil - viruses, worms, spam - so now they are every one's enemy including Jo at home, the ISP's customer. Now it starts to affect their bottom line as well.

Your point that the ISPs need to take responsibility is perfectly valid but not in the way that they interpreted it - they need to stamp out the problem at source like the guy from Betfair said. Stamp out the compromised zombies which are on their networks. Chop off the unmaintained home broadband machines, they are killing the network for everyone.
