The concept of asymmetry as you're using it doesn't make sense in this situation.

- If you push traffic to my network it is because someone in my network requested it. - Incoming and outgoing traffic are technically no different. - It makes more sense to pay to receive traffic than get paid to receive traffic. That's actually what VZ customers pay for and that's why not many people complain about ADSL speeds.

If I were Level3 I would actively partner with VZ alternatives in the US, announce it to VZ customers so they can move away and then proceed to remove any peering with VZ. Enough bullshit already.
