My understanding is that as long as you get a block from former class C or "the swamp", you should be visible everywhere. We recently requested, and got a /21 from 65/8 from Sprint. A phone call and some pleading got them to change that to 208.8.16.0/21
Having a prefix that happens to be visible from everywhere is different than having a prefix that belongs to an ASN. Your mail was unclear as to whether your /21 was its own seperate ASN or not.
I didn't word that email well at all. 208.8.16.0/21 belongs to our AS19975
I have to wonder why a phone call and pleading were needed to get it out of 65/8 - was your /21 being filtered or hidden in some way?
I pleaded to get it changed from 65/8 to 208/8. I *assumed* that having a /21 from 65/8 would get us filtered by Verio (at least), but that a /21 from 208/8 should not be filtered anywhere.
