That said, their current policy of refusing to accept de-aggregated prefixes from peers (while accepting such from paying customers) makes perfect sense, IMHO. Not arrogant, just a smart & reasonable business decision.

However a NANOG list subscriber was kind enough to help me get past Verio's NOC monkeys and get their filters updated to allow my announcements. -Ralph
