In general ISPs are now very reluctant do less than a /22 or larget if 
it's not carved out of one of their blocks. It was a fair amount of 
hunting around in Menlo Park for me to find somebody to route FERAL.COM, 
and the big home serving ISPs like Sprint and Yahoo!/SBC were completely 
clueless about being asked if they would do so- even for a fee.
