This is getting insanely silly, especially for this list.

A $50K/mo customer should have PI space and announce via BGP to both 
(all) upstreams. He isn't going to do this with a COTS Belkin "router".


A mom-and-pop with said Belkin router who ties to source its /29 or 
dynamic /32 from ISP A out ISP B isn't going to get very far with it. 
The COTS "router" isn't going to NAT the traffic out the wrong interface 
in the first place.

In any case, ISP B will never see the return traffic. The rest of the 
Net isn't going to accept its /29 and /32 random advertisements, period.
