Hello Shaun, personally I do not put up with any crap from ISPs. I have run 2 public Linux boxes since 2000. I pay for a business DSL line that was once owned Mom-and-Pop and so I do not appreciate any deviations in the connection and my provider knows it. The simplest way is to just block all NICs that are not ARIN: LACNIC, APNIC an RIPE. I am running a Shorewall Blacklist that blocks that traffic I deem undesirable (but not because my ISP does not like the traffic volumn). You will have to do a whois on each of the NICs mentioned above or better yet start with the following link. If you construct a blacklist from the link provided your traffic should see a notable reduction.
