Actually, in light of the conversation we've been having about carriers
flagging routes that are part of diversity pairs, what happens is you
get two circuits for such service from separate carriers. 

Would they have any way of avoiding co-lo'ing the circuits?  Is there
an intercompany tag for circuit paths?
