This is generally not recommended as the providers have to strip your AS and announce your space as though it was your own. This leaves your space showing up as inconsistent with respect to source AS, which so far is largely not a problem, but is not entirely ideal either. You should register for an AS, or multihome to a single, quality provider into two distinct POPs.
