I guess the increased bandwidth should at least show up on the ISP bill since that's the only place anyone would notice.
But we're pretty far from having a system that isn't perfect for botnets and malicious proxies hiding on your network.
Kinda crazy how my ISP doesn't even show me my usage on the bill. But then again every time I call them for something, they try to convince me I need something more than the minimum plan, and they're BS depends on me not knowing which tier I need.

Not sure about other places, but where I live ISPs don't have bandwidth limits over which they make you pay an extra. In extreme cases they might suspend service if your usage is deemed abusive though, but I never heard of this happening to people I know IRL.
Sure. And that's yet another enabler of the status quo where malicious actors have infinite resources: every compromised computer or internet of shit product has unmetered high quality residential bandwidth.
