I would have to agree with James that ASN probably isn't a good
indicator. We waited nearly three years before getting an ASN (about 2
years too long actually...). When we did multihome it was for
reliability as our single provider was proving to be dangerous to our
health.
I gave up on trying to keep Boardwatch up to date a long time ago. Once
they completely wrecked the usefulness of the listings by returning
59,303 virtual and national ISP's to any request for a local ISP there
didn't seem to be much point...
