Opinions about InterNAP

I've been told by many that most national providers filter any prefix greater then a /20 such as sprint and verio.

/24's are sufficient to multihome with most if not all providers out
there. Why not conventionally multi-home to 2 large well established
providers?

Hi
We have a small network (5 /24�s) and we need to host our web applications
internally because they access backend servers that absolutely cannot be
collocated. I am thinking about getting 2 T1�s or fractional DS3�s from
InterNAP from different P-NAPS (1 from Philly and 1 from NY) each circuit
from a different CO
The reason that I�m thinking InterNAP is because we don�t qualify for a /20
and we would not be able to efficiently multi-home. It seems that InterNAP
is perfect in our situation because they buy transit from multiple providers
and claim to not have any black holes in their network.
I hear many great things about InterNAP and I hear the opposite as well.
Any thoughts would GREATLY be appreciated
Thanks!
