I *did* mention that we terminated our contract with one of our upstreams
who did MPLS TTL hiding, combined with basic inability to do proper
monitoring of their network - and since we couldn't do it for them either,
every time they had packet loss "somewhere", getting this resolved was
a nightmare.

(Now we're with a new provider that gives us best of both worlds - a working
network, *and* the ability to verify that :-) ).
