I geeek out over this stuff. Thanks. 

The ISP rarely responds to my FOIA requests and when they do it is many months after my request and it is almost always NOT what I requested.

Just saw these stats. Our success rate by writing the Response to Law Enforcement Objections is 95%. Anecdotally, it seems that most folks that click that response button don't think it through and get denied. If you ask for more time, collect lots of background info, provide references, get character evidence via affidavit, etc. you'll do OK.
