the past? Who's good and who isn't?

I answer our abuse@ address and file reports daily. I get automated responses from the free providers, but have little faith they care enough to fix the problem. RIPE regions seem to process reports with an attitude that they care, while LACNIC, AFRINIC, and Asian providers seem to ignore all reports if you can even find a working abuse@ contact. Smaller providers in the ARIN region also seem to do a good job.
