Are you really going to announce your prefix[es] to both your real provider _and_ your ridiculously low bandwidth provider? Even if you prepend the latter considerably, you're likely to receive some traffic via that path.
Yes. I've done it before. As long as the provider supports BGP communities to tweak localperf you won't get any traffic over it and you won't even need to prepend once. Prepending is really only a last resort if you got stuck with a dud provider that doesn't support communities. ~Seth
