For checking the distribution of your BGP advertisements, you should
telnet to route-views.oregon-ix.net and check the routes to your net
block.  (If your block is part of a larger CIDR that Sprint is
advertising, then traffic should get to you eventually.)

For checking inbound routes to your own network, I humbly suggest that you
try Traceloop.  That's what it's designed for.

Thanks,
