Default routes on BGP routers with full feeds

Tue Nov 4 18:25:35 UTC 2014

I have 5 providers and we get the default from all of them and full routing tables.

I have seen cases where if there is no default route, the traffic didn't know where to go, even with full routes from all my providers.

I'm wondering how many of you who are multihomed also add default 
routes pointing to your providers from whom you are receiving full feeds.

If so, why? If not, why not?

Thanks,
