[Firewall managed by ISP]

Right.
I've seen some examples of "firewalls" installed/managed by ISPs. In most 
cases it was a complete desaster. 
But even if the ISP has the necessary know how there's still a big 
conflict of interests: The ISP is mainly interested that the customer 
uses the Internet as much as possible, because that's $$$ for him. I 
don't think this is the customer's top priority...
