The types of customers that obtain BGP4 service is usually larger entities that must have multiple providers, hosting providers, and wholesale and service provider customers.

In order to obtain BGP4 service, a customer must be assigned a minimum of a /24 (256 IP addresses) for thier network. This typically means that they must have a larger network of computers or servers.
