Just remember that while a 5 minute average may not be at 100%, the
microbursts are probably quite a bit over that.
For an ISP who actually cares about making money it's not *easy* to say
"I'm terminating my peer to PSI because of their degraded performance and
unwillingness to upgrade", but a de-localpref'ing is probably a good idea.
