It seems clear that neither Comcast nor Verizon will BGP peer with you 
over cable or DSL or FIOS, no matter how expensive a business class 
service you buy. Under these circumstances, does anyone know of an ISP 
that would BGP peer with me through a tunnel? Ideally one that was a 
direct peer or short hops from Verizon.

The background is that this is for BaseSpace.net. We may be moving, and 
the new location may have FIOS. It would be wonderful to be able to make 
use of that large pipe, but it won't help unless we can use BGP for 
reundancy.

Thanks for any suggestions,
