Just block everyone then.

Wouldn't this pretty much include everyone?

I don't care what software/hardware you use. Windows, Unix, Linux, etc can all be made insecure by putting the configuration of it in the hands of someone that doesn't know what he/she is doing. Yeah I agree MS is the worse at security but heck, give Linux to someone that doesn't know better and see what happens. Watch as said person installs every piece of software that some unknown email or website told them they need to install. Yeah there won't be the mass worms like we see in windows but just because other OS's are more secure doesn't mean the users will all of a sudden become smart and properly secure their box.

Go ahead ISPs...start shutting people down. Watch as all your money dries up. Maybe we will get lucky and get rid of some of the sucky ISP companies and start over with some new blood in this market. I guess we can hope anyway...

Yep, here we go. A bunch of Net Nazi's who have no clue themselves, blaming everyone else for their own problems.
What will happen is they'll start blocking users who have taken proper security precautions and then it will be up to that user to prove beyond reasonable doubt that they are secure. Guilty until shown innocent.
