Manitoba Telephone System (MTS) harbor spammers
My experience with Manitoba Telephone System (MTS) has shown me that they protect their spammers, and would rather have sites block their IP range then terminate a spammers account.
For roughly two months, I have continually telephoned them and forwarded the spam messages about an annoying spammer to Curtis Prystupa who works in their abuse department.
The have told me they have identified who the spammer is, but have refused to deal with it.
Residents of Manitoba need to consider this before choosing them as a service provider. This means users will find themselves unable to connect to websites as more an more companies will be blocking their IP range.
This is what ruins a service provider. Harboring known spammers is bad business.
