To me, this smacks of an intent to continue ignoring the root cause of the 
problem(the box is 0wnz0r3d) and just shoving it under the rug. When these 
customers move to another provider, they will still have the problem, and 
the cost of educating the customer (w/r/t spam, virii, etc) gets shunted to 
the next ISP the customer moves to.
