Agreed, "on your own network." From the viewpoint of a household, whatever network defense has to be behind that household's router, for it to be credible, and preferably right in each host. Yeah, some IoT devices may not be updated regularly. The ISP has to worry about protecting that ISP's own network. Households have to be responsible for protecting their household's network. (And connected TVs do get regular software updates, as a matter of fact.) No one would trust their online banking transactions on an ISP's network protections, for example.
