And just to be totally fair so that mfnx isn't misrepresented or anything. I've looked back and it doesn't seem like I got an autoresponded ticket and while calling the voice lines I got a fast busy which after some digging was a result of some voice issues on my carrier. So although it seemed to me that mfnx wasn't responding they might not have known they had to. I only had the toll free number, maybe a direct number would have worked but either way once posting to nanog the responses were very very quick and correct the first time. and most importantly, thanks to the folks who did help.

Nope, nobody responded from noc@above.net so I tried here, got a response and was all set. Helpful once you get around the noc where we had no response.
This is not in response to Scott's specific problem, but since MFN was brought up I will inform a bit about how we work.
noc@ opens a ticket. You should get an auto reply within a couple of minutes. No auto-reply probably means things are broken enough that the phone is necessary. The phone number in the above.net, mfnx.net, and AS 6461 records will (after a bit of IVR) get you to someone who can help.
peering@ also opens a ticket. The same applies.
Note, for us noc@ and peering@ go two different places. noc@ is realtime issues, peering@ is policy/requests and other non-realtime issues.
