Why do you want to do BGP with Comcast or Verizon ? (Over FIOS or Cable ?)
To gain redundancy for a consulting client.
Is the intent to Peer with their network ? (which they will rightfully only allow on bigger fatter connections)..
I think you mean "higher margin connections" ;) As far as I know, most major carriers will still sell you a T1 for Internet access (and even BGP!) if you want it.
Are you trying to delivery your IP's to a End Customer behind that FIOS / Cable Connection ? ... (there a ways to accomplish this without needing their cooperation..)
Running BGP over a tunnel is one (albeit sub-optimal) option, but I don't know of any providers that sell such a service. All of the other options have varying degrees of downside, i.e. how much of an outage are you willing to put up with when provider A fails, transferring DNS records, etc. jms
