If your business depends (depended) on stable and reliable internet connectivity with your own (or at least non-changing) address space, might I suggest that you should have gone to ARIN for a microblock of address space and established a contengency plan with some other provider(s) in the event that the sky fell?
I've been trying to do that for years. Minor technical difficulties keep getting in the way, like routability. I can get the /24, already have the ASN, but can't get it routed. If it's so easy, how come you haven't done it yet?
I have. A long time ago.
