"transit provider". Is XO the end-access provider for either you or the destination site? Or are both of those on some other connection, and XO is a bystander along the way?
We're a direct customer. The IP's that I've seen them block have been both on our network and on remote networks, so I suspect their filtering would affect any traffic that happened to pass over XO.
Ah, ok. Well, that certainly gives them standing to be filtering the traffic; whether you think their reasoning is justified becomes a different level of question at that point. I concur with you that their filtering probably isn't justified, but I suspect you'd find your contract permits it. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
