Its too bad the money to be made off of stupid users who refuse to secure their machines is more important to BellSouth than the responsible users who do secure their machines.
I don't see Comcast making any improvements to help lower the number of spammers on their network -- making them the #1 ISP with the most spam users.
I don't think that is totally correct.
According to my router logs, I get more spam and zombie attacks from a few other DSL and cable providers. Comcast IPs rank in the middle on my router attacks. The most, believe it or not, is Charter and SBC.

San Francisco, CA | That's probably because you are on SBC and the attacks tend to come from sources closer to you (i.e. fewer hops)

Well, lemme look at my (SMTP) logs. From the last four days:
Relay access denied (total: 273960)
14187 comcast.net
6137 shawcable.net
4942 attbi.com
3881 greatosee.com
3126 rr.com
blocked using dynablock.njabl.org (total: 263297)
46633 comcast.net
12876 optonline.net
12746 rr.com
10236 attbi.com
9189 ameritech.net
Not only is Comcast the biggest offender in two block categories, they are the biggest by a considerable margin. Comcast seriously needs to do something about their networks.
