You might consider just taking matters into your own hands, and
getting a connection to an exchange point, adding an entry into
peeringdb, and start doing BGP with other folks; announce your
/21 directly to people, and it's likely your upstream will suddenly
wake up and smell the coffee when they realize you've actually
become truly multihomed in spite of them. Nothing shows clue
factor quite as much as, well, practical demonstrations--and turning
up sessions with other networks at an exchange point is a really
good way to let folks see the level at which you're ready to play.
Best of luck!
