(old, yes, but I'll still answer)

It hits straight bulls-eye to the local phone firm (Ainacom), which owns
the cabling around this area, so also the cable which is rented to
another ISP (Sonera) to provide a link for me. Intresting part is that
my IP-series comes from Sonera's pool, not from Ainacoms pool.
