Funny sig !
ISPs do very little to protect users. Take for example AOHELL. Just because someone offers a better service doesnt mean they will get more users. ISPs could notify users there boxes are sending spam. Its trivial to tell if someone is sending spam, there are numerous blockers/scanners which could detect the spam being sent, and then the isp could notify the customer. Will they do this...... no, because they don't care / make money from it. False positives may be an issue, but the entire process does not need to be automated. I'm sure they couldn't kill all the spam, they could however behead some botnet zombies, by being more proactive/informing customers. ISPs do very little to curb this stuff, it is obvious that the could do more, considering they are acting as the gateway to the rest of the internet, they don't have to / can prevent proliferation of these actions.
Here is a list some ideas:
