No, I'm suggesting you locate a Mikrotik box in the datacenter where you can get the BGP connection(s). Put a Mikrotik (or more) on the ends of the broadband fiber connections. VPN from them back to the MT at the datacenter. Your BGP stays at the datacenter, you use the VPNs as internal connectivity to the rest of the network.

The InterNAP box is the only one I'm aware of that'll do inbound.

I have yet to understand why I would want to buy a big expensive box (and they are NOT cheap) to influence my outbound BGP traffic, knowing that like humans, we can only influence inbound BGP traffic a very limited amount.

Don't know if the they are still around. I personally don't think it is a good investment as so much of the bgp equation depends on the carrier.
