The application for ebgp-multihop is not to go across multiple ISPs.
If you needed to do that, MPLS/BGP VPN is probably a better way to go.
ebgp-multihop is needed when the two endpoints of a BGP session are
not on the same subnet. The usual example is when you do the BGP
peering between loopbacks, but have multiple T1s between the routers.
The T1s are on different subnets from the loopbacks.
