This is the way it looked to me, too. I just asked the guy at
Windstream who is dealing with it. He said...
Windstream has two Tier 1 providers, Level 3 and AT T . This allows
us to have two separate drains to the internet backbone. These two
providers have two separate processes for setting up
of the very few protections BGP has.

of Paetec, they'll have a much more substantial
This is the reason that ATT costs more and Windstream (which I have
never heard of until this message) is cheap. You get what you pay for...
a company with real tech support and engineers that know what they are
doing and get it done, and some other company that doesn't. :)
