BTW, to solve these types of problems, Smaller companies need to band together and start peering with each other in the local metro area.
Until the smaller companies get bought out by OneM^H^H^H^H a national provider who has no interest in peering. Quite frankly, it seems that most smaller companies have no clue what the heck peering is or why it's good. I've approached a few, and none seem to get it. One (cable company, mind you) wanted to *charge more for peering than for transit*. They thought that we would be getting some sort of "priority access" to their network, and wanted to charge a hefty price... and this was talking to a net admin, not a droid. Jeez.
