I have one downstream ISP customer that explicitly asked for "full BGP
routes" to be written into the contract. Why Verio's customer's wouldn't
want full routes makes no business sense to me.
However a NANOG list subscriber was kind enough to help me get past
Verio's NOC monkeys and get their filters updated to allow my
announcements.
