Hijacked Network Ranges - paging Cogent and GBLX/L3

Tue Jan 31 19:50:10 UTC 2012

To be honest I haven't had much success it convincing a tier 1 to
modify someone else's routes on my behalf for whatever reason.  I also
have had limited success in getting them to do anything quickly.  I'd
first look to modify your advertisements as much as possible to
mitigate the issue and then work with the other guys upstreams second.
