At least if you are interested in a quality network. If you'ld like, I'm sure multiple ISPs would be happy to send you all of their /32s. Verio's policy seems like a very responsible way to run a network. I'm saddened that more folks don't do filtering based upon RiR policy. Not announcing your largest aggregates is just plain stupid. If your peers are willing to accept more-specifics tagged no-export, with MEDs, then go for it, but the rest of us don't need them. I'm a little disappointed in Verio, if they really did decide to accept your unneccessarily deaggregated prefixes.
