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.
