Not quite sure what you're saying here. Spammers target whichever addies get them the best results, which isn't really connected to size. NTL can expect to be exponentially targeted; as other ISPs introduce server-side filtering, spamgangs will concentrate their [more accurately: other peoples'] resources on the ones that don't. NTL's recent strategy has put them in the firing line, and they don't have the server capacity to deal with the predictable results.
