i had the oposite experience with UUNET. they handed me a BGP config that
worked great from the getgo. i did have a problem with one half of my class
c not failing over correctly in the event that a route went down. we worked
through that in about 10 mins though. someone had mistyped my prefix. i
have had only one other problem, and that was my bad. my access list wasn't
allowing BGP updates/keepalives between UUNET and my router. =\
since then, the network has been reliable, and the support, not that i call
on them often, has been great.
anyway, just thought i should temper mr. roysdon's bad experience with a
good one of my own.

It's all going to depend on the luck of the draw as to the engineer you get,
I think, at least to some degree (same is true of Cisco TAC, and they're the
top as far as support goes, IMHO). Mind you I've only turned up two BGP
connections, but Sprint was totally on the ball and great to work with.
WorldCom/UUNET was incompetent and I had to walk him through a number for
things like getting a default route advertised from them, what customer-only
routes mean, etc. (lucky for me I did them after Sprint). Check Boardwatch
for ISP costs and latency comparisons. WorldCom is directly connected to
nearly 50% of prefixes advertised. I believe Sprint has like 30%.
