I don't know if they still do it, or if their old "Abuse/Security guy,
Travis Haymore" is still around, but above.net had a history of null
routing "destinations they didn't like", which meant if you were a
customer (even a multihomed one) and sent them traffic for those
destinations, you wouldn't get there. Getting the list of null routed
space from above.net was not trivial.
