Ya, we have the same problem, we will be at 7 NAPs by the end of the
month, and DIGEX does not meet our peering requirements. If I don't peer
with DIGEX then our customers yell at us when it is a DIGEX problem.

What we could do is all cut peering say the first of the year and then
DIGEX would need to buy transit or connect to more NAPs.
