By in large, those times that I have sent stuff to 'abuse@whatever' with an event notice, I end up getting a spam flood. It's almost like I'm signing up for abuse!
Very rarely have I got a reply that something was done...
These two will detect most automatic attempts and then add the IP's to a drop list on your Linux firewall.

I've put together a Shuttle SN41G2 with an AMD 2100+ and 512 M RAM
Recently, Snapstream ( http://www.snapstream.com/) added a Canadian channel to their Program Guide and it's great.
However, it does cost. $60 but it works very well and has an excellent Wife utilization factor to boot!
The Virus part comes in when the cart says, " Why the hell are you shopping here? That bag of Frozen Peas is cheaper at Y....and if you act now Easy Credit!"
I started out with Cable about 5 years ago here in Vancouver, BC. Eventually, the service over the course of a year became like the old 56K modem. When I moved downtown, I hopped into the queue for ADSL and was quite happy with the speed.
When I moved a third time, I had the opportunity to test Cable VS DSL head to head. I did bandwidth test after test (dslreports, Cnet, bandwithplace, etc) as well as the subjective (time from click to fully rendered page).
What I found (about a year ago)is that Rogers(Shaw now) had the highest peaks, but also the lowest lows. Getting pages tended to be laggy on Cable. Not so on ADSL(Telus).
I can see the claim that on average Cable would be faster. Some pages would load like blazes after an initial lag pulled them from a cache. But most ones off the beaten track (ie, not/., CNN, weather, Yahoo) tended to be slower.
The best part was telling the Cable company that I was dropping them due to slower speed. She insisted that they were faster. I told her that after a month of testing with all of my sysadmin tools, that is wasn't faster in my area and that was all I really cared about.
