Because they bought MCI who bought UUnet and the arm of Verizon we're  
using (VerizonBusiness) is not the Verizon that "protected" their  
customers from evil European, Asian and Australian spam.

They're also now the largest ISP in the world and they offer services  
at costs no-one else could manage in the geographical area we're in.

This problem was outside their direct control and they've been a damn  
sight better over the past 6 years than any other ISP I've ever used.  
Or been employed by.
