"Multihomed customers generate LESS technical support rather than
more?"  Perhaps in an outage instance they do.  When they
have a routing
issue, it can become a finger-pointing match between their
upstreams and
thus, it generates 100% more technical support for the upstream who
doesn't have the problem.

There was a question mark after that statement :-)

So far FUBARS by provider A have not generated any extra technical
support for provider B.  At least in a simple multihome situation it
isn't too hard to tell who is hosing things using online routing tools.
It may generate more traffic to B but I don't see it causing a support
issue.
