Better is in the eye of the beholder. From your perspective, better is the lowest latency. From almost any ISPs 
perspective, better is the revenue positive path, followed by the revenue neutral path, with last choice being the 
revenue negative path. 

From 3356 perspective, they ARE choosing the best route… the route that pays them.
