Only a few months ago did Verizon misconfigure their BGP causing a big outage. Now imagine they need to have different routing for different states. It seems like they're too incompetent to manage to best standards now, so how could we trust them to do any better? We should've considered them dumb pipes from the beginning.

Remember that time.. a few minutes ago when Verizon configured BGP correctly and nothing happened? And yesterday and the day before and the day before that, too? No? I didn’t think so.

If an ISP is indeed too incompetent to manage two configurations, nothing is stopping them from deploying the State B config everywhere, as if there were nationwide net neutrality.

This just mean that they will likely make mistakes. They can obviously configure their BGP just fine most of the times.
