  I've called both the Verizon NOC and UUNET NOC, talked to friendly people
  who told me nicely to go talk to someone else.  My next step will be to
  contact ip-noc at verizonbusiness.com as per the netops NOC list.

  Any IPs in 83.222.0.0/19 that ARE reachable on L3 and Cox are not
  reachable on Verizon.  Please note I'm not doing traceroutes to 83.222.0.0
  or 83.222.0.0/19.  I'm tracing hosts that are known to be up and
  traceable, and are within this block.

  An interesting side note -- I can't get to retn.net either on Verizon, but
  can elsewhere, which is 81.222.33.89.

  As an end user smart enough to figure out why a website isn't loading, it
  is a GIANT PAIN and next to impossible to report a network issue when you
  are a non-customer, non-ISP employee.  This is why I posted this on NANOG,
  because I'm trying to promote dialog between people concerning the
  operation of IP networks.

  Verizon asked me to reboot my router.  I hung up.
