Not entirely to the point, but I've just found a phishing 
spam in my junk filter, which was originally spewed via 
their network. (Given the amusingly broken english in the 
phish I'd assume that the netvigator luser has been 
hijacked, rather than that they're the original 
perpetrator.) Granted this isn't a pattern as yet, but 
nevertheless it might be worth looking into; using a 
clueless or cluelessness-tolerant ISP is liable to cause you 
grief further down the line.
