Hi,

I never said they marked the whole country, maybe you should read the email 
better.

I asked why doesn't the ISP mark the AS of the dialup, and DSL, etc as a 
separate entity - like hosting/teleco companies do in the US, and Europe.

If the answer (yours or theirs) is because we are:
1) Too small
2) Care too little
3) RBL is wrong

I am taking my "stuff" elsewhere, the ISP's responsibility is to provide 
service, and it should be good service - meaning stopping others from abusing 
the network, which in turn is used against me - as I am blocked in an RBL.
