Like I said in an earlier reply, Opennet is not an ISP they are a 
communication operator, which means they own citynets, so they don't 
have end customers on their opennet.se host.

But looking at the domain names of all the hosts that I am currently 
blocking (5000+), there are some references to opennet, like 
<random>.opennet.bredband2.se" or "<random>.karlstad.bredband2.se" anD 
Karlstad is a Opennet city.

So yes, this may very well be a smoking gun as you say.
