I figure either they have some serious network routing problems affecting their private inter-city links, or they've designed something idiotically. Or both.

It is surprising, however. After all, large intercity routers must misbehave all the time, and the currently deployed routing protocols must have some way of avoiding bad routers (even Byzantinely bad routers that claim to be working). So, it is somewhat of a mystery how MSFT manages to get these gigantic failures.
