And paying more for dialup than OC3s is typical, and most people
accept this.

Does this salesdroid even know WTH peering and transit provide?
Sorry, I just don't seeing anyone with a modicum of sense paying
more for a few thousand routes (with little or no redundancy,
depending on peering arrangements) than a full table with a fair
amount of redundancy.
At the risk of overgeneralizing, it sounds like he's fresh out of
cableco school. I once contacted a couple of cable companies re
peering... and they wanted to charge more than transit. They
considered it "priority service" and thought there'd be no
benefit to them. Ungh?
I mentioned this on a mailing list (isp-whatever? inet-access?
NANOG?) a while back, and someone else responded that s/he'd had
a similar experience.
