That's not how it works, and frankly you should know that as a security
expert.

Your ISP charges a fee for access through their network. Think about
that for a minute.  If you don't pay the fee you have to jump through
hoops+loops to access their network (find a friend to bum their wifi,
get your mom's password, etc.).  If you do pay the fee, that doesn't
mean you have free reign to abuse their network.
