They forgot to mention that it's technically possible to filter
advertisements from their customer. Which apparently they were/are
not really doing.

luckily, CT is the only isp not doing good filtering, or we would
be having mis-originations and route leaks every day.  oh, wait.

Perhaps what you meant to say here was:

“Then you should say what you mean,” the March Hare went on.

I know. I guess my point was: "Hey, maybe now we can get people's
attention?"

my point is that over 20 years of continuing mis-originations and leaks
seem not to move the needle very far.  heck, you were jacked/leaked
maybe ten or so days ago in about the same way you were jacked/leaked
some time back.  and you will be again.

and those mean, nasty, godless, commie, ... chinese have no worse
hygiene than 94.3% of the internet.  non-chinese just love to get
hysterical and accusatory when some prc isp does what almost everyone
else is doing multiple times a day.

and focusing on china telecom is a red herring, because damned near
everyone leaks.  and it is the everyone who has to change.  doughnut,
hole.
