Yeah, this is exactly why we terminated our contract with GBLX.

Frequent black holes in their MPLS network, and no traceroute capability to
be able to pinpoint the point of brokenness.

(Worse, it might even be the customer egress router on the other side
that's missing a return route(!), but you can't see whether it does inside
GBLX or not)
