Providers will often set localpref lower on peers so customer routes
will win even with a longer AS Path.

But several have customer traffic engineering communities to utilize
in order to set localpref to go lower than peers which will result in
pushing traffic to ISP1 which is the goal. Best to make an inquiry to
the upstream provider to find out if they have BGP communities that
can help.
