you would need to do this on a per customer interface basis ie not

Not necessarily.  Some Windows malware prefers local address ranges, but not
all.  If you quickly disconnect those who caught something, it's a great help
in keeping the number of infected machines down. You could even spin this in a
way that encourages your customers to recommend you to their friends: no
hassle with the filters.

I thought of that but then its only half a filtering effort, how would you 
package it up 'Telecomplete Broadband **Now with a bit of filtering**' ?

Then a bunch of smallprint about how you dont actually provide any additional 
security? :)
