Anyway, it's all getting (for us) pretty complicated. We're a fairly small firm and just want an Ethernet handoff with our IP block on it. Sprint didn't blink at the request, but AT&T... We're getting a good rate from AT&T for the IP services because it's at their colo. Switching back to Sprint would definitely be more costly.
Please renumber into an AT&T prefix.
Yeah, because that's what's best for everyone else in the world *except* him. I understand the desire to keep from exploding the routing tables, but come on. You big ISP folks need to remember that you exist to provide service to customers. Without the customers, sure, the explosion of routing tables wouldn't be a problem, but then you'd certainly have bigger problems to think about.
