Yes, it is lovely when things work out like that. My one experience with this problem was with Telia announcing my more specifics, and their US NOC referred me to their Europe NOC, and there no one spoke English. They are a tier1, so they don't have any upstream to call. It took 20 phone calls and more than an hour to get to someone who cared enough to do anything about it.
Surely, Phil, it will take longer than an hour for IRR updates to reach tier1 router filter configuration files. Are you advocating that we all pre-emptively populate the IRRs with /24s for all our mission critical networks? If that becomes fad, IRR growth will quickly become a serious concern, and its utility will be reduced. In addition, many networks will not accept /24s from the former B-class space which is now being assigned by the various regional registries. Advertising /24s might help the problem, or it might not. Cluttering up the IRRs is not the answer to someone blackholing your network. Rather, use administrative channels or forums such as NANOG to get the rogue advertisements withdrawn at their origin or filtered by their upstreams. -- Jeff S Wheeler
