Greetings All
I think the context of some of the conversation is missing.
BGP can handle any class of address, and in fact the BGP being run on the
net at present (BGP4) is classless. The whole reason for CIDR was that it
was intended to shrink the size of the BGP routing tables. SO them saying

Yeah, I am in agreement with the below, and would immediately cross them
off my list, unless they are saying they will not allow you to announce
class a and class b space to them.

You were talking to a salesman.

This is not a company that I would want to do business with. :-)
Maybe it is just me, but if you only have one connection to your ISP, I
don't see any reason for BGP.

They may be assuming that you will advertise a small block of the /8 space
(say a /24 or /23 etc) which likely be filtered by various providers. Small
advertisements out of the class C space would not suffer similarily.

The question I have is: is the class A address space you're using on your
LAN private? (10/8,192.168/16,etc)? Perhaps the tech was explaining why he
would not route your space because it is prohibited per RFC 1918.
In other words, if you have numbered your network with the 10/8 network

I would venture to say this fellow is not all that up on BGP either. We
have an entire class B running in BGP. The only thing this fellow could be

255 hops to connect to an external BGP neighbor.

If my ISP told me that, I wouldn't believe another thing they had to say.
BGPv4
supports CIDR and Classful addressing. It will advertise whatever address
range
you tell it to, with whatever mask you provide. Perhaps the ISP was really
talking about their own policies, with regard to address spa
