Based on some of the other replies I've gotten, it's clear I should have
elaborated I'm not an ANS customer. I could see them not taking BGP
routes for any random IP block from customers...but I'm a customer of
other backbones, and had to call ANS to say "please listen to X and Y
announcing routes for blah".
I told them on the phone...I'll just have to keep telling our customers
(some of which are ISPs) that ANS is down. :)
