To whom does the address space that you want them to relay your
advertisement belong?
If it's your own portable CIDR block, they should accommodate you.
If it's non-portable space belonging to your other upstream, I can see
their point, as your other provider is no doubt advertising an aggregate
and you'll see all of your traffic via Verizon in that case due to longest
match, so you can't load-balance inbound anyway.
I haven't dealt with Verizon, but work regularly with BBN/Genuity/GTEI
(which may now be the same thing) and they seem clueful. Is it AS 1
you're peering with?
