Where is the problem?
I can't change ISPs.  I have a cable modem and only 1 provider in my area.
DSL is 4 times slower in my area, so, DSL is not a very good option for me.
Dial-up is too slow to even consider, and requires a phone line.

Maybe you were assuming everyone was on dial-up, sure easy to change.  Most
give about the same performance.

It's not that simple.  The vast majority of worm infections are not from
company-owned machines, but private "home" users.  Whether the ISPs
can/should/must filter outgoing mail from their ASDL and broadband users
is not entirely clear.  However, assuming they don't filter, and the ISP
gets a "bad reputation" s a result, that reputation will affect a number
of other users of that same ISP, many of which have their virus-protection
in perfect order.

This is the problem that many people seem to be ignoring.


Not a problem at all. If an ISP gets a bad reputation then people will
migrate away from them. Where is the problem?
