Dont know about the corporate side because I dont manage the internet gateways here and therefore dont have any info on what policies and practices were agreed with our service providers. On the personal ISP side I have to say that I've been very favourably impressed with Minneapolis-based Vector (visi.com). No RFC1918 addresses have ever appeared on my firewalls external interface and on the one occasion where I got hit by a DoS (some scriptkiddie decided he didnt want me on IRC since I'd tracked down too many of his rooted boxes and got the admins to clean them up) they had a filter in place to block it within minutes. All in all I can recommend them without hesitation to any customer in the Twin Cities area simply because they do seem to be doing it right security-wise.
