You can see where the traffic is coming from, so can't the ISPs send out letters to the residential customers affected and at least tell them "you have an infected device on your network"? Seeing as most residential customers use the ISPs own router, they should even be able to specify which device is compromised and sending out the DDOS traffic. It would still be difficult to separate from legitimate, consensual residential proxies.
