You won't be able to be that exact...

I know one of those providers will let you tweak things with communities
in a very fine-grained fashion.  I would have a look at perhaps just
taking routes from their direct peers and ignoring their transit
connections.  This could also possibly net you a discount if you promise
not to use their transit at all.

That's just an idea.  Don't ask me how to set any of that up as I've never
touched communities.  Not that I don't want to or anything...
