I'm curious to know how many of those UU customers are just waiting for
their contracts to expire before giving them the big F.U.

Well, just by checking the "big" providers off the top of my head, I
come
up with:

701 45429 UU
3561 23205 CW

Which of course ignores many dozens of 1-2k route providers.
Now, of course number of routes has absolutily nothing to do with amount
of traffic (ex: AOL, which anounces 400 some routes (and a lot of those
are RoadRunner) but is one of if not the single the most important sink
of traffic in the world), but it's interesting nevertheless.
