Yeah I had some random small business, which if I recall was a telstra managed router service.. anyway.. I don't recall which range but it was something like 100/8 was in use for the entire network.. and their other site (connected via VPN) used 101 or some other entire /8... complaint was "I can't get to site X".. wonder why ;)
