For inbound traffic our outbound traffic? Or both? MED's are not going to help here...

Each link is 45mbs and we are receiving full bgp routing tables from each provider. I've been trying to load balance the traffic going out over these two connections, but am looking for some advice on other tricks i can try. Unfortunately, only one provider sends MED metrics, so i'm unable to use the bgp med for path selection. I'm currently using 'bgp bestpath as-path multipath-relax' and 'maximum-paths 2'. One link still gets 75% of the traffic, which i believe is do to the fact it has a lower ip address than the other link. Any suggestions on configurations i can try to influence better path load balancing?
