Ok, so I only lose 16 T1 customers instead of 1024.
If you lose 16 T1 customers during a renumbering of a /20, either you don't know how to renumber, or they were already unhappy for some other reason. If you tell your customers "You need to renumber because evil forces are colluding against us," they won't be very amenable... try explaining that they'll get better connectivity. The social and technical problems of renumbering a /20 are nonzero but not large. I've done it. -- Shields, CrossLink.
