I have worked for 3 ISP's in the past several years. Of the three 2 peer at the MAE (actually the connection for one of them is still sitting in MaBell's in box). This is a prohibitively small sample to be useful though. At most the number of ISP's dualhoming must be <= the number of assigned ASN#'s. As for leaving their NSP, I am not sure that many are doing that. Its hard as hell to do without killling your customers.
Well in the Seattle area there are at least 3 providers who have switched NSPs over the years. Of course, as far as I know, all of them had portable address space at the time.
