I don't usually admit to having worked for Sprintlink during the early
days, but ... oh well, there you have it :-)

Anyway, the point Michel is making is completely accurate, what a
hosting company needs is private peering arrangements with SLAs that
guarantee some accountability.  When I was at Sprint we were VERY
agressive in pursuing private peerings (ANS/UUNet/MCI at the time,
everyone else was <1%) and making sure that they were at least sized
reasonably.  You can control these. MAE* is a joke, nothing more, it'd
be like claiming you had a CIX connection in 1995, interesting perhaps,
but not terribly useful for getting traffic somewhere.
