Logically, it would be a whole lot easier for the ISP to monitor network wide traffic coming to designated internal endpoints and regulate the traffic within the network according to rules, and it would take a whole lot less compute power and a whole lot less trouble to do it that way than to monitor it just at the firewall. ISPs could monitor such things for customers as a paid service, and it would cost the customer far less than what they'd spend on a firewall that could defend against modern DDoS attacks. They could also monitor and block port scanners and traffic on known ports that hackers use for some of their tools. They could also monitor and block traffic for the CnC of botnets and block that. It could end the entire idea of botnets, making the internet safer for everyone, except the hackers.
However, net neutrality rules specifically forbid it. They say that ISPs can't even monitor the traffic to even SEE if something is suspicious.
No it doesn't work that way and no NN does not prevent it. You literally have no understanding of what you are talking about.
