It may be fine that you are going to give up all services Verisign might offer... but are you willing to also give up the ability to view any website hosted with Verisign? I think that's where you're going to run into your major problems. There's a lot of sites hosted on Verisign, as well as a lot of commerce sites that use verisigns payflow link. So should you drop all their IP blocks you'd be restricting your access to much more than Verisign as a company. I think it's going to take a little more research what IP blocks are used for Verisign company sites/services before mass blocking occurs.
