I don’t really understand why certain residential ISPs carry a higher risk score. In some cases the consumer doesn’t have much or any choice over their provider. What’s the reasoning behind this?

I agree it would not be the consumer's fault or responsibility, but in terms of deciding on the overall probability of risk in a profile, some residential ISPs do have proportionately more bad traffic than others.

We don't attribute a high number of points to this because it doesn't deserve a high weighting but it's probably right to factor it into the score.

Having said that it's early days for us and we're still tweaking/testing.
