Could be the Cogent - Telia depeering.  If you're singlehomed to either
of those networks (or your provider, or your provider's provider, is)
then you can't see anything on the other side of that wall.  If you are
(or your upstream is) multihomed and can see both sides, then the problem
wouldn't manifest itself.
