You start cutting off users or putting them into a walled garden until
they fix their machines, and they will start caring.
This will only work if all providers including cable, DSL and *shudders*
WISPs (hate to be blunt, but who from my experience tend to be the least
experienced and network knowledgeable people running a customer network)
do it so customer's can't just switch networks and 'make the problem go
away'.
I use escalating price increases and delays in service/repair time on
some of my consulting customers who do things I warned them to be more
careful about.
It takes time, but when $cost starts to become prohibitive, they stop
and think. And the ones that never learn... Well, that's more $$$ in
my pocket for the effort that I would normally charge otherwise.
