Is their problem the amount of work they have to do because of the abuse and legal complaints? Then offer to handle them directly. The best way to do so is to become the contact address for the IP. With your Regional Internet Registry, the process is usually called SWIP [1]. The issue you might run into is that SWIP is only available for a minimum of 8 IPv4 addresses. So they might charge you more and you might have to switch to a new IP address. You probably should switch to a non-exit policy while negociating. If you and CondoInternet are not able to find a process where you could handle abuses directly, fast non-exit relays with good bandwidth are still a very useful contribution to the network! (and they would not get any legal complaints) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWIP Hope you'll sort it out! -- Lunar <lunar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
