Route Views was showing the correct BGP but IP traffic was dying so there wasn't any BGP reconvergence.  At least from my view.  Maybe an access list or hardware problem where it drops packets. I'll be interested to know the answer also.

I'll be very interested to know what the root cause of this was.

All the discussion indicates there is a single point of failure
somewhere within Verizon's network out east; route propagation and
reconvergence should have mitigated things, so the question is why it
didn't.
