What should we do next?
Oh, and I almost forgot.

When you talk to tech support, if after 10 minutes on the line you realize that the rep will not or cannot help you, ask for a supervisor. In most cases, if the rep cannot help you, the super cannot either, but he is more equipped to direct you to the part of the company that can.

A few useful emails:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] - if you can frame the request is any way you turn it as "an attack", that's a good address. They usually understand more about the infra than the reps. Examples from my recent history - an ISP has a local zone file for a client's domain, which contains the wrong IP. Rep tries to tell me that since I am not their client, they cannot help me. I tell him that what they are effectively doing is a denial of service for my site. Abuse were not the right address in this case, but they knew which was (the next one).

hostmaster@ - I know, the time we used to read the RFCs that said that every machine should have an active hostmaster account receiving email, and that every SMTP server must have a postmaster@ address. It seems that these days are gone and no one remembers them, but most ISPs actually honor these RFCs. If it's a configuration problem, hostmaster@ should be contacted.
