Providers that sleep the dogs deserve exactly what they get: No email.

Suggested solutions:
a) find a ethical provider that responses to abuse complaints
b) I can't think of anything better than a.

It is a question of trust: Do you trust Williams to be ethical to their 
Internet peers and respond to abuse issues?

Do you trust them after they -repeatedly- -ignore- abuse complaints
regarding your clients receiving spam from a spamhaus on their network?

Make your own conclusions.
