Trey, That is the main question. If it takes the rest of the Internet 10 mins to figure out my BGP dropped, does it matter if I spend $$$$$ of some super fast router that can build the tables in 30s?

The other thing is if you are n a physical interface or aggregated interface with a vlan on your upstream's router. If its physical it should stop routing traffic when it sees the interface down. If not it may keep trying to send traffic down that interface. BFD can help with this. It will Also depend on how your provider handles the traffic when the the session with you terminates. If it will forward it on to your other providers or not. If your alternate providers are connected closely to you it shouldn't take to long, but it can take 10-20min for the loss of the peer to propagate across all global routing tables.
