      Nope strictly for marketing reasons... ASN has almost no place in BGP
selection.

Just a quick FYI, I am no longer with WebUseNet ASN 19151. I'll be
starting
to build a new network over the next several months. Does anyone have a
low
ASN I can buy/transfer as to not have one up in the 30,000s...
Lemme guess - not only do some places filter 69/8, they bogon-filter AS
numbers
over 32K as well?  Or is there some other reason?
