Indeed.  What would, IMHO, help is being able to hold the ISP responsible.

It would be nice to see them held responsible for some basic best
practices, like egress filtering, and disconnecting virus-infested
machines until they're cleaned.  As it stands now, though, they're more
worried about losing a customer than they are about the amount of crap
their networks spew onto the rest of the Internet, so complaints about
virus infected systems generally are ignored.

It's likely that as long as Internet connectivity is flat-rated instead of
charged by bandwidth usage, this kind of laziness will continue.

But this is straying rather far from SPF.
