local_preference for transit traffic?

[asr at latency.net (Adam Rothschild)]

I've had similar experiences to Mr. Petach.

Depending on order of operations, you can look at this from a
different prospective as well -- why go with a soulless entity for
your transit (or transport, collocation, ...) requirements, when you
can "keep it in the family" and engage a peer who already understands
your service model and is committed to maintaining mutual benefit?

Indeed, the old adage of "once a customer, never a peer" could never be wronger.
