I think the need for someone being able to call 911 from their VoIP outweighs your right to claim that they should be disconnected from the Internet.
I believe the FCC requires even deactivated phones to be able to reach 911. Can't confirm, fcc.gov is down. Don't know about CRTC. And I don't know how this could apply to an over-the-top VoIP service--how would an ISP know you're trying to call 911 on Skype?
Besides, if that provider wants to help out, he might setup a captive portal or something with information regarding tools to clean their computer.
Many providers already do that. Lee
