The "no" is for the automatic 100% (or other prime rate) discount.
I am reasonably sure that every single one of them would happily say
"Yes" with a price.
Try asking. You may find that peering@anywhere is essentially a sales
channel serving a particular wholesale market segment. Of course,
they might not be any more interested in explaining this to you than
the local AMEX Black contact is likely to tell me exactly how an
arbitrary acquaintance of mine could qualify for their offering.
People who sell you money vary in their approaches, and some
particularly sophisticated deals are not widely available, because of
risk to the seller. When you are trying to buy improved business
efficiency that is attached to bits rather than to a car, a building,
or cash, is it OK to rely upon analyses that miss this?
