Really? Can you provide a citation of an ISP policy document that states that they are in any way responsible for security? That seems like a one-way express ticket to Litigation Hell. My own ISP's policies clearly state "You are solely responsible for the security of any device connected to the Service, including any data stored on that device." They then go into significant detail in explaining the various ways in which I am responsible for the security of anything I connect to their service. Any ISP claiming to provide a secure connection to the Internet had better have a very clear definition of "secure connection" in their policy documents - and the means to back up their claim - or they're asking for a big, steaming pile of trouble.
