Many transit providers support BGP communities to modify how your announced routes are treated within their network. A quick search shows that AT&T supports BGP community 7018:70 to lower the default local-pref 100 down to 70 (below peer routes). If you tag your AT&T announced routes with BGP community 7018:70, then even AT&T customers should prefer to enter via Verizon.
