Have you tried asking your upstream, Sprint (AS 1239) why they are
still listening to, and re-announcing the route?  Was it the old
cisco bug, where routes sometimes get stuck in the route table due
to dropping the withdrawl?  Or some other reason?

As part of the post-mortum, was everyone able to easily reach the
correct people at the responsible NOC's of other providers to resolve
this problem?  I've been told in the past there are no communication
difficulties between the billion dollar providers, and bi-lateral
processes work well.
