With the way their peering is these days, that probably
would result in a huge improvement; we have complaints
all over the northeast from comcast users who are getting
poor connectivity to websites we host as a result of the
overloaded Comcast->Level3 links and nothing we can do
about it even though we both share a non-Level3 provider
since Comcast wants the traffic to head out the bad
links.
