You could stop your ISP updating firmware until you are sure its safe.
I suspect (but I don't know for certain) that preventing your ISP from updating the firmware probably 'violates' your contractual 'agreement' with them as a service provider. Those agreements are usually why many people can't simply "buy the best router" and use it instead of the one they 'provide' you.
I like the idea of virtualizing the router, but I think in so far as 'security' it just opens up a whole new way to exploit the situation.
