Comment Telefónica IS NOT the govt/national ISP of Sp (Score 1) 841
Telefónica WAS the old state run monopoly telephone company something like... a decade ago, but now is a private company, and has some competition.
Problem is, almost all IP space in Spain is listed as owned by them! Almost anybody goes to them to get their IP. Independent ISPs and companies use IPs listed as part of Telefonica network. So if this block is just taking every network listed on whois as "Telefónica", then a lot of people have been cut off.
At this point I dont know if I should be more angry with the AHBL or Telefónica, who is incredibly shitty in technical expertise, customer service, and almost every other area except billing us at least 4 times as much as any other company in any other european country for lower quality service. But there HAS to be a better way than to cut service to a lot of innocent bystanders who are also being screwed by Telefónica. Unless the plan is to foster a consumer revolution and have us storming Telefónica buildings...
Once again, Telefónica earns the nickname we use for them, Timofónica (like Scamophonic)
