I know this might sound like a silly idea given the state of the ISP 
landscape, but have you tried to contact the abuse contact listed in whois 
for this IP?

I don't know rogers.com, but I actually did get a response every now and 
then when I tried to do that.  (Admittedly in a minority of the cases, but 
still...)

A 300kbps flooding *should* be enough to get an abuse desks attention, the 
biggest problem will probably be to actually reach somebody who doesn't just 
response with "Dear cable customer, please switch your DSL modem off and on 
and then try again setting the time on the VCR sometimes helps, too."
