right but the route-map on his end for me has as-path prepends, and my side
still chooses the ds3 regardless, i have tryed putting 10 as 10 times in the
prepend and i get the same thing... same with my provider and there upstream
(as choosing default through me).

I'm already doing as-path prepends
