Can be for the end users if they wind up on a less direct network path.
"Direct" is not the only measure.
I would take a 4-hop, 10GE, no packet loss path over a 1-hop, 1GE, 5% packet loss path any day of the week.
"Shorter" {hops, latency, as-path} does not mean a higher quality end user experience.
I was using "Direct" as a generic term. And if the issue was link performance, company A would have sent company B a "shape up or we'll de-peer" message rather than a "pay up or we'll de-peer" message.
