AT&T announces our extremely legacy ARIN allocation for us because we do not qualify to have an ASN, but I absolutely did not, will not, and *have actively resisted attempts to* transfer the block to them. I would sooner have my gums tattooed than give up my address space. Having an ASN was not a requirement when we were allocated the resource, and I don’t see why we should be punished for being early adopters.
Getting an AS number is as easy as getting two $20/month virtual servers (e.g. from Vultr and one other provider) and then applying for one from ARIN on the grounds that you're multihomed. As a bonus, you can actually announce it from the VPS provider with a couple prepends, link back to your site with a VPN through whatever cheap commodity backup path you can get and actually be multihomed.
