I gather the usual customer response to this is "if you don't want our $50K/mo, I'm sure we can find another ISP who does."
I myself am talking about the latter and included the option of PI space to cover that (although I guess at some point this can be made fly with PA space from another provider if both providers are willing enough to play ball), though from the $50/mo figure John listed, I'm assuming he's talking about the latter.
Who said $50/mo?
Apparently I need even more caffeine that I first imagined... If we're talking about networks with that kind of MRC, is it really that far of a stretch to require PI space for this? Then again: If we're talking about that kind of MRC, then I'm assuming ISP A can be coaxed to allow explicit and well-defined exceptions on the customer's links. This discussion started wrt to COTS dual-ISP routers though, as mentioned in Ken Chase's message, no? Where I'm assuming we're talking about mom-and-pop operations rather than a $50K/mo business account.
