Paying for "peering", doesn't stop you being a tier-1. 

Being a Tier-1 means you are "transit free" (technical term, not commercial). No one is transiting your routes to other Tier-1 providers.

Hi.

Looking at the article on Tier 1 networks, I found one that I know for a fact that pays for some transit (12956) and some I usually don't associate to Tier 1 status, like 6762.

Is there a list of such transit relationships by those bragging about being Tier 1 ?
