Hi Alex,

Every packet has two customers: the one sending it and the one
receiving it. 3356 is providing a service to its customers. ALL of its
customers. Not just 47787. Sending the packet an extra 5,000 miles
harms every one of 3356's customers -except for- 47787.

In this case, I am the customer on both ends. 3356's choice to route
my packet via 47787 serves me poorly.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
