Most of the multi-homing talk has been about failover capabilities between different providers. What about the effects of multiple providers when neither has actually failed; such as different paths for inbound/outbound traffic. One provider may have better connectivity to x site whereas the other provider has better connectivity to y. (Or is this not as important as it used to be?)

In our case, we already are multihoming and I'm considering moving away from that to a simpler solution. It's been my assertion that we didn't need to multihome in the beginning. The decision was made at a level higher than me. However, now that we have it I'm trying to determine the pros and cons related to moving to a single provider.
