Fingers crossed, due to the good reputation SAVVIS has with the 
anti-spam community (SAVVIS has probably the best AUP in the industry 
and a well-respected Abuse team), at Spamhaus we're hoping this 
spells extended downtime for the large mass of spammers Cable & 
Wireless and Exodus have been servicing.

Spamhaus publishes a "Top 10 World Worst Spam ISPs" monthly chart 
from SBL data, and for March Exodus was 7th and C&W was 8th (I know 
we should combine 'Exodus' into 'C&W' now, but I'm afraid if we did 
C&W would probably beat the No1 place UUNet in volume of harbored 
spammers). So here's hoping the SAVVIS team can turn C&W round in 
more ways than one.
