Well, not necessarily.
Tier-2s should be given much more credit than they typically are in write-ups like this. When a customer is single homed to a tier-2 that has multiple tier-1 upstreams, and uses a delegated netblock from the tier-2's aggregations, that means one less ASN and one or more less routes in the global table.
It's a Good Thing(tm).
Not for the single-homed customer when the Tier-2 service is interrupted. Owen -- If it wasn't crypto-signed, it probably didn't come from me.
