Isn't this true only if they have every outside connection plugs
into a router? An ACL at the ISP's router doesn't protect me from
the kiddie across town who happens to use the same ISP I do. And
forcing every customer to be on their own subnet probably isn't much
more practical than putting a firewall on every connection....
