I would dispute the "only their network" statement. We've troubleshot
various issues in the past with latency and loss, especially for internet
based services used by businesses when that traffic traverses MICE. While
the peering policy of a service provider is their decision, it is
potentially appropriate to provide proactive notice in some fashion that
would alert other operators that they may want to adjust their peering
strategy to minimize customer complaints.

Is some kind of alarming or reporting viable and useful? From my
perspective it would be useful.
