RE: How many ISPs are out there?

I would have to agree with James that ASN probably isn't a good indicator. We waited nearly three years before getting an ASN (about 2 years too long actually...). When we did multihome it was for reliability as our single provider was proving to be dangerous to our health. I gave up on trying to keep Boardwatch up to date a long time ago. Once they completely wrecked the usefulness of the listings by returning 59,303 virtual and national ISP's to any request for a local ISP there didn't seem to be much point...
