I would guess that if one of them can't change their announcement when their link to you is down, then make sure their announcement is the less preferred. The ISP that *can* remove their announcement when their link to you is down should be the preferred path since their path is much more likely to be actually up...

What if both annonce my /22 unweighted ?
I know I will loose failover in this scenario.
I am trying to figure out what will happen, traffic will flow inbound from both in a round-robin like method ?

The can't do BGP. They are already advertising two /24 for us. So they will advertise a /22 if I ask them.

Good point on ISP1 Steve, being they are limited already, they might be just reselling.

This is assuming that 'ISP1' has the capability to advertise the OP's route in the first place.
What if ISP1 is simply a customer of another ISP, using PA space, and just reselling connectivity?
Charles, you really need to find out what others have asked... can the ISP1 advertise your block of space for you, or do they really mean that they *can't* do BGP at all.
