Because many ISP's LOCAL_PREF the hell out of customer routes, where prepending would be ignored. However, this isn't always the case, so the OP can always try it. If the OP's provider supports community signaling for LOCAL_PREF, I'd go with that and send communities to the upstream to use LOCAL_PREF to choose which link handles inbound traffic for the OP. The OP can do the same on his end to influence outbound traffic from his network to the upstream. Cheers, Mark.
