I've had pretty good luck asking for higher MTU's on both customer
and peering links. I'd say about an 80% success rate for dedicated
GigE's. It's generally not on the forms though, and sometimes you
get what I consider weird responses. For instance I know several
providers who won't going higher than 4470 on ethernet.
If more folks asked for higher MTUs it might become part of the standard
forms...
