You may wish to acquaint yourself a little more, with:

  http://www.paul.sladen.org/nottingham-isps/

particularly:

  http://www.paul.sladen.org/nottingham-isps/#proweb

and perhaps also ``Diamond Cable'' (aka ``Diamond Cable Communications
Limited'' aka ``DCCL'' aka ``NTL Midlands Ltd''):

Hmmm.  Are you wanting me to unleash my scathe for ICMP-droppers, too?

``inconsiderate''?  The Whois example that I gave should give you an idea 
of how stuff is assigned--mostly to the nearest /24--and its likely use.

On the contrary.  NTL are ``considerate'' in that they have only added
1 additional prefix to the routeing table, rather than dozens.

Perhaps you should start lobbying OFTEL to assigned separate area-codes
for business, resential, third-sector, goverment and tele-sales companies so
that you can ignore them more easily?

HTH, HAND,
