Now this is interesting. From @CloudflareRadar via @jordancrombie, a flurry of BGP announcements right before Rogers went offline.

🧵 for my short story of what might be happening. I had fun writing it.

#ItsAlwaysBGP #rogersoutage #rogersdown
Here's my real guess. Rogers BGP announced itself off the internet, and now isn't successfully peered with anyone. Since they're now not peered with anyone, they can't announce themselves back on.
They have to make phone calls to their peers to get manual routes put in to get them bootstrapped enough to be allowed to announce the correct BGP entries again.
