In terms of the larger question....
ConEd Communications was recently acquired by RCN. I'm not sure if the
transaction has formally closed. I suspect there are serious transition
issues occurring. "Financial Stability", "Employee Churn", and "Ownership"
are, unfortunately, tough things to factor into BGP algorithms.

Internet access has always been a sideline for CEC - they are more of a
provider of transport, and their customers have included some very well
known entities in the NY metro area.
Perhaps someone from RCN would care to comment?
