Hello,

You are aware Wiltel was acquired by Level(3) some time ago? Going to www.wiltel.com would tell you this.

OrgAbuseHandle: WAC18-ARIN

Messages to [email protected] are being rejected.

This phone number goes to their "conferencing group", which doesn't know
what 'abuse' is, or even what an IP network is.

I went through 4 levels of management, and was informed that they no longer
had an abuse team -- that this was disbanded in a recent reorganization.

In short, it would appear that Wiltel is now selling pink contracts.
