As an aside
We have colo with a sizeable US provider, who also supply the comms. I can connect to the BGP port of our first hop outbound (their router, in other words) from a domestic DSL line in the UK.
I'm pretty sure that this should be locked down to their peers. Or at least their continent.
Beat my head off them for two weeks, and the best they could come up with was for us to firewall it so we couldn't see it.
Anon because we use this for a live service.
