You might find this interesting:

ftp://ftp.mci.net/pub/rr/docs/mci-user.txt

Search for the section about the advisory field. I have not verified if
this still applies to ANS or not. 

In any case, it is my understanding ANS updates their routing policy
biweekly, (Tues and Thurs morning if I'm not mistaken) for what that is worth.

You can also open a ticket with MCI. MCI will in turn open a ticket with
ANS to have them update the policy however, usually the biweekly policy
update still applies.
