So their restrained the transit they sold... without notifying the contract
holder I guess.

Well we cannot really oppose this, who on this list is providing access to
the entire whole internet? Obviously not abovenet. If they want to deny
traffic from the tester entering their network, why not. You should make
sure that no other traffic (your business) is hurt by this. Why not setup an
AS with a /24 and run the tester from there? Or several of them in diverse
locations.

Sure it would. It should be possible to avoid AboveNet though. Isolate the
tester from your business and let him block the new /24 if he wants. And
make sure that the facts are clearly explained on the web; your previous
email was pretty clear I think.
