If you have 500000 customers, there's no discussion that you can get
your own address block (and keep it).

The interesting problem is how to make end user (!) multihoming work
without putting the burden on everybody *else*.  I am NOT interested in
seeing 20.000 small multihomed end customers in my routing tables, because
in the end everything goes over one of two possible links anyway.

So go and get an allocation :-)
