I realize this might be a bit of a fool's errand, but I'm trying to determine if Verizon will speak BGP with FiOS business customers. Their website is relatively lean on details. Everything that mentions BGP points to VZB services, which does not appear to include FiOS. Looking at the routing table, I do see several non-VZ ASNs downstream of AS19262, so it looks like it might be possible.
If that is the case, could anyone lend any insight to get past the "what is BGP?" response that likely awaits from their salescritters?
No. If you want to do BGP with Verizon, you have to buy a T1 at 10 times the cost and 1/10th of the speed. Though I'd love to discover I'm mistaken about that. :) Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
