Did you verify your problem was announcements on the other side of the
outage? This sounds to me like you are using a bgp announced default
route from cogent which is always sent. I think the problem was you were
sending traffic out a path that was broken. Since you mentioned your
outbound balancing this would explain some packet loss and not 100%
loss.
