Define to have several and chose one of them to give you a /48

According to the policy you are.

PA from one of your customers^WProviders.

This limits other endsites as well. You are as much an endsite as many other
big companies. Big companies connecting more stuff then most of the ISPs out
there. 

They will not accept a renumbering when they change their provider. Just as
you do not want to renumber when your customer that gave you the PA moves
somewhere else.

They want multihoming that works and does not rely on the aggregate still
being visible from the provider they got the PA space from. Just like you
do.

You are not so special ;-)
