Say again, are you saying when you use Telia's IP addresses, you 
can connect to cnn.com?

I can connect, but my traceroute isn't any better (which, at this 
stage, is irrelevant).

Do you have a similar problem with other web sites? Are they 
specific to a certain region of the world, e.g., U.S?

What is your source IP prefix (range)?

Excuse this very basic question, but, (using a browser with 
detail, e.g., Mozilla) do you see the browser actually 
"Resolving", "Connecting" and then "Waiting for www.cnn.com", or 
does it just hang at "Connecting"?

> Full feed for my session with Telia, yes.

Did Telia do the normal, i.e., update their anti-spoofing 
filters, advise their upstreams to do the same, update their 
prefix list/AS_PATH filters, update their RIPE RR data if 
necessary, e.t.c.?

Did you update your RIPE RR data? I've had customers with 
problems getting "replies" from some part of the Internet 
because they left out critical RIPE RR data for their AS when 
setting up BGP.
