If you want to see graphically how this happened, go to:

http://www.ris.ripe.net/bgplay/

click BGplay button, and enter a Taide prefix.  I used
193.219.192.0/18

You can see that from the 26th to the 28th, routing moved from Telenor
to Telia to Banetel and back to Telenor.

It's a great tool.

It seems that they didn't have a SPOF, just their main link got hosed,
and the backup(s) took time to converge. But I may be wrong.
