I smell a rat. I have a funny feeling Edge1 is a front for
pro-spammer Nick Geyer.
Look at their whois:
Edge1 Networks
Hostmaster Edge1
25 Broadway - 5th Floor
New York, NY 10004
US
Phone: 212-248-1121
Fax..: 212-248-0929
But if you call Verizon, they'll tell you these lines terminate
on the sixth floor of 25 Broadway, an address I remember all
too well from the VMX Networks hijackings.
If you want the abuse to stop, call Nick at work (212-685-2009)
or on his cellular phone (503-851-1963) and tell him to knock it off.
If Nick is busy or at a meeting, as is often the case
ask to speak to his boss, Paul Hodara, and see if he can track
him down.
The Williams NOC could care less, if you want to get anywhere,
try contacting Blake Williams (blake.williams@wcg.com) or
Michael Winslow (Michael.Winslow@wcg.com), who are capable of
taking action, including ultimately denying service to Edge1
for AUP violations.
