A big benefit is that they can have two ISP's and load balance traffic. (or
use the second ISP as a backup).

Subject: WHY BGP
Question.
Why would a company want BGP?
In what scenarios would it be good working policy to actually sell them BGP
instead of advertising their netblock through redistribution means and
giving them a default route.
I have struggled with this question for a while and I can't really come up
with any hard evidence to the benefits of BGP for a customer.
I mean what does BGP give a customer?
Any thoughts welcome
