That´s somewhat to the same urban legends of spam being sourced off Asia 
instead of Florida. In our research which compares a few metrics to the 
number of  incidents exceeding certain tresholds AOL (if we´re talking 
about AS1668 here) comes up quite favourably. Not your model student but 
compared to a lot of population out there, very nice.
