I've found there are many providers that have completely disconnected
autonomous systems. For example Yipes (6517) uses L3 on the west coast
and Williams on the east coast.
66.7.129.0/24 is advertised under their AS through WCG and
209.213.209.0/24 is advertised under their AS through L3.
And the number of connected autonomous systems with de-aggregated
prefixes appears to be even more common than a disconnected AS.
It would seem that many (most?) network operators are just ignoring the
more vocal opinions on NANOG.
