We have 4 full-peering providers between two data centers. Our accounting people did some shopping and found that there was a competitor who came in substantially lower this year and leadership decided to swap our most expensive circuit to the new carrier.
That's the first mistake. Internet w/ BGP is not a mass-market service. Accounting people have no business searching out highly technical custom products and services.
I guess that's why so many customers keep paying for circuits that have long been shut down. :)
