er.. hate to rain on your parade but if I peer with everyone

if I -NEVER- touch any other part of the commercial Internet...
my packets get to where they need to go and all packets I want

Absolutely correct.
how would you classify such a network? T1, T2, ODDBALL-0,
non-Internet-265, ???
I doubt it is a tier. I am certain it is not an "Internet" network if
it does not have connectivity to substantially all other Internet
networks.
