To the best of my knowledge, AboveNet has never insisted on any particular
traffic balance with any of our peers.  Send to us 10:1, 1:10, 1:1, whatever.
Any traffic coming or going over a peering connection is to or from one of
AboveNet's customers, which means we're paid (by that customer) to deliver it.
(Any other policy amounts to wanting to be paid twice for the same packet.)

Of course I can't commend on PSI or any of the other companies Sean mentioned.
