Hi,

Whois seems to say it's Charter Communications, abuse@charter.net. But if I mail them, they say:

This email address is for reporting incidents of abuse coming from IP addresses registered to Charter Communications. Abuse from IP addresses not registered to Charter Communications should be directed to the registered owners of the IP address in question.

If the abuse "function" don't work i suggest that blocking this range will work.

If and when charter decides that their customers should have full access they should start with a working abuse staff ( and some more ) Until then, we can manage without them.
