well they're not really hijacking it - as in they are not announcing it or affecting unrelated networks on the internet its no different than a private firewall/security policy, except we know they're doing it because they're broken not because they intend to be denying connectivity to those networks.

Turns out the folks at fastweb (Italy) NAT there adsl clients but instead of using the rfc1918 space like most people, they use unassigned global /8s. Well 41/8 is one of there NATted allocations for Turin. No amount of emails will get them to respond, calling isn't any better as I get only Italian speaking people at the other end. Any ideas out there?
Yes: you lose, sorry. :-) Many of their networking people are less than clueful, and I fear that they are not going to renumber a whole city just to let their customers communicate with a few African networks... Let me know if you need more information. (Feel free to repost this if needed, but please remove my name.)
