And the arp table is nicely populated afterwards.
Most devices and operating systems will not respond to broadcast ICMP pings. It's very easy to do smurf denial of service attacks when devices respond. For example, I think most GNU/Linux distributions have net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts = 1 set. Some devices may respond, printers, etc. but this is far from an effective technique. An ISP can properly implement a shared internet setup as long as the router handles client isolation (allowing traffic only to the router/gateway not other systems connecting on the shared WLAN), properly configured VLANs/routes (separating the ability to reach systems on your home LAN), unique SSID, and QoS (ensuring that your devices have priority in regards to bandwidth) then I wouldn't worry. You probably agreed to this in the agreement you signed when you started your internet service.
