It's not actually true that all routing has been cut into Egypy, just most of it.

Andre Toonk's bgpmon post shows about 88% of it was down yesterday (327 of 2903 networks left) and about 91% down today (239 of 2903):

Interestingly there's one ISP (Noor Data Networks) who seems almost completely unaffected - they've lost just 2 of their 85 routes into the country.

He also notes that Vodafone has confirmed that the government has required them to shut down their service in some areas.

I have read somewhere else that Noor is a smaller ISP used by big companies and the stock market.
