Most EULAs are so broad that it's hard not to violate them, bring to the ISP the exact sections of their AUP that has been violated, include all IPs involved with timestamps of access.
Also follow up with a phone call if necessary.
If that fails we should set up a mechanism such that anyone accessing the webpage from that ISP has a note attached to the top saying "Due to a failure by $ISPName$ to take action against an attack against wikipedia we are considering removing write access from users coming from this ISP. Please help us to avoid doing this by contacting your ISPs abuse department and making your views on the matter felt to them".
This sounds reasonable to me. I hope we will never have to make good on such a threat though -- I know I get majorly pissed when I can't send an email to somebody because my ISP has been blacklisted by my recipient's ISP because somebody on my ISP is a low-life spammer.
