My favorite of all time is when Pakistan's PTCL (an entity functionally
equivalent to Centurylink or Verizon, they're the LEC) decided to announce
Youtube's ipv4 prefixes... Not only did they mess things up for everyone but
they also DDoSed themselves at their international transport capacity in and
out of Karachi via submarine routes.

Well, there is a lot of single homed stuff out there for sure.

It doesn't get much better the higher up you go in the OSI model

That said, at least a few years ago one could making a killing

yeap, we are being affected, outage is related to Mobile Network.
No
official word yet, there was a earlier rumor about a circuit
breaker
being
accidentally turned off.  But my inside sources debunked it.  I
believe
its
a Issue with EPC
