Keep in mind Yipes is just a Level 3 reseller (and may have been purchased by Level 3, I don't feel like looking it up). Yipes should be substantially cheaper. If cost is not an issue go Verizon, if it is then go Yipes. Both will do you good.

Flag payed 300 Million for them and is pledging another 300 million in infrastructure development. You may see some decent international routes from them as the integration occurs. Multi home is always best but if I had to choose, hands down you will get better routes from AS701

Both Yipes and Flag are owned by Reliance Globalcom.

Yipes I think still sends most of their traffic locally to their upstream providers, as they really don't have a nationwide IP network yet/still

AT&T, but it will likely be more costly on lower commits. But, as good as att can be with routes, it lacks in way of certain advantages such as blackhole communities. If it's not carrier direct, possibly see if you can't get a test ip on the specific networks to observe which will suit your hosting requirements the best.
