It took only a few days to be assigned our AS number, but that was after
hair pulling, head banging on desk, and
i-want-to-drink-every-night-after-work for a week or two while we
figured out how to work around the circular "You need to have two
upstreams first before we will assign an AS" rule but providers
can't/won't peer with you without one in the first place reality.
I wish you luck :)
