We see this often - some of our customers will send us fewer 
or more routes than they will our competitors in the same 
market.

The reasons vary, but they're as much technical as they're 
commercial.

Our saving grace - we can reach any prefixes we don't see 
directly via the exchange point toward their other transit 
provider. This tends to be very low cost or free, depending.
