Re: Sprint and peering points

I have found that Sprint is prepending their AS when sending routes to many
of the public exchanges (example "1239 1239 20001") in order to "shift load"
to private peer connections.

 ...

Needless to say I am a bit pissed at Sprint for doing this and not telling
me.  


  It's arguable that they _did_ tell you; in the truest sense,
  the BGP update.

I had been a fan of Sprint until this happened.  Anyone else out there
seeing the same problems?  Any ideas on how to cure it
