Thanks - understood ;-) I see, btw, a lot of Tier-3 (or -4, -5) providers that have easily survived their Tier-2 Transits going down the river. If customers can be convinced that the tier thing has nothing to do with business viability and/or stability, and that size does not always matter, we might get them on the right track. As long as they believe the marketing-speak, that Tier-1 ISPs are god (no double-o here) and Tier-2's are still quite good, but everything else is crap for "real" business, well... Always remember: For every customer, their stuff _is_ mission critical. So everyone will take the multihoming road if they can afford it. We can make it more expensive, or we can offer other solutions.
