[edit] ISPs

Tiscali UK - 88.109.x.x -> 88.111.x.x

Rangeblocks calculated from Paul O'Grady - subject to update
88.109.128.0/18 (up to 16384 users would be blocked)
88.110.0.0/17 (up to 32768 users would be blocked)
88.111.128.0/17 (up to 32768 users would be blocked)

The whole of this range would be 88.108.0.0/14 (up to 262144 users would be blocked) - way too big.

Tiscali UK - 212.139.0.0 -> 212.139.127.255

212.139.112.0/20 (up to 4096 users would be blocked)

Sky Broadband - 90.194.x.x, 90.198.x.x

[edit] Discussion

I'll update these as time permits but the major ranges in 88.xx.xx.xx are too large to be blocked for any appreciable time. --Rodhull andemu 15:20, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I appreciate that the collateral damage from those rangeblocks far outweighs the problems caused by WJH1992. I was merely listing the so far known about ranges for reference purposes. ~~ [Jam]^[talk] 16:39, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
