Well - I think Genuity is the #1 ISP - since they use AS 1 (They got AS1 when they bought(merged in ?) BBN ) and it's quite obvious that the ISP with the #1 Autonomous System is the best - right ? ( ;-)
The local Genuity folks gave me a very nice mouse pad, with a huge "AS1" in about 80-pt letters very visible from a distance. Now I have people stopping by to ask who "ASS ONE" is. I tell them it's Genuity, they're proud to be it, and in fact they paid a whole bunch of money to become it, so they want everyone to know. They advertise it to every Internet router they can, especially their competitors'. Just waiting for the ad campaign: "We Kick Genuity's AS" Pete.
