This is common in the ISP where they allow customer to run BGP by using 
thier own AS#. I am very suprised that your 1st ISP that allowed to use 
thier AS is allowing to announce the same AS to other provider, they 
always tell you from the start not to run BGP with other providers with 
thier AS, this is One problem. you are aware the AS# that your provider 
is letting you use, is used other customers, When you say prepend our 
AS# are you referring the One that you own, or your ISP AS#.What is the 
hold of announcing your routes from your OWN AS#.
Thanks,

Hi,
Our provider is advertising out routes for us into a  BGP network. 
We are using there AS number currently to advertise the routes. 
We are currently not using our own as number to advertise the routes 
but we
have an AS number and are planning to run BGP soon. 
In the mean time other downstream providers have spotted this, based on
filters they have and are starting to ask questions why we are NOT 
using our
own AS number, One provider has refused to accept these routes until 
they
come from our own as number.
In the interim period until we start using our own as number is there 
anyway
we can work with our provider to prepend our as number on to there, so 
other
providers will not have an issue and other new providers will not be 
aware
of this current difficulty.
Kind regards.
Paul.
