I have dual homed feeds from AT&T and Sprint. When I first installed the second, all traffic preferred AT&T. I added AS pre-pends to the AT&T link, until it was fairly equal between the two. From my understanding this makes your router appear further from the network than it really is on that link. I am not familiar with the two providers you mentioned, however I imagine it would depend on which provider has closer destinations for your traffic. Hope that helps,
