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.
