This isn't really a NANOG issue but it does affect most of us so...
It looks to me like there is a switch problem with some of the long
haul carriers. The interesting thing is that most of the numbers that
are unreachable from LAN lines, are accessible from cell phones. It
looks more like a switch software issue than a cable cut or other
physical outage.
