That does raise some good questions - where does the ISP's network end and the customer's start? In Australia, at the physical level, the ISP's network now doesn't go anywhere near the premises, because the last mile is carried by the NBN infrastructure, which is currently owned by a government owned entity. Even before the NBN, in many cases, a different telco owned the DSLAM and copper lines to the ISP. Now, if the ISP owns the infrastructure (cable, etc in many countries), then which side of the divide is the modem on? And does it depend on who purched the modem?
But logically, one could argue that the ISP's network starts at the device which does the login (over PPPoE or whatever). Looks like this is one for the courts to resolve.
