unfortunately, there's not much to do on your side. if you know ISP
customers, you can try to convince them to complain. and even then, only
if "many" customers complain will the ISP do anything.

my "rule" is that "network providers" are bad service providers
(priorities dictate how help desk acts) and people should get service
(email or other) elsewehere. as an example, the major isp here is
orange. some time ago, they were a large backscatter source. then they
"fixed" that by discarding mail (except if sender is at orange, but that
doesn't mean it's not backscatter!).
