Well, we once had a major, very well known, fairly large 
global transit provider tell us they couldn't increase their 
BGP maximum prefix limit on our eBGP session to them because 
our circuit size was only 100Mbps. If we wanted to announce 
more prefixes through them, we'd have had to increase our 
subscribed capacity to them, first...

Makes you wonder...
