RE: multi-homing fixed

The real problem with most basement multi-homers is they go with the
cheapest local service they can get, often from someone clueless with one
POP / one path.  To fix this, they add another cheap, local, clueless
service and pray they don't get clueless at the same time.  Then they
inflict bad judgement on the rest of the Internet by demanding their routes
be distributed.  Bad plan.

what is interestingly bad about this plan is that it attempts to save the
basement-dweller money at the expense of everyone else.  and that's the
point of the filtering story.
