Because huge volumes of spam come from dialup, cable and dsl connections.

Personally I have nothing against blacklisting home Internet connections, a 
home user usually has good solutions available for relaying their mail 
(Rogers auth requirement is a PITA).  Those who want to send directly are 
usually running their own mailservers (crontavening AUP) or they're spammers.  

Sympatico and Rogers are both lying bastards when you get right down to it, 
they will never admint that a problem is on their end.  For anyone remotely 
technically competent there are better solutions, even if you're not 
techically competent there are probably better solutions.

Solutions are out there, see discussion about DSL providers recently.
