What we know so far about the Bandwidth.com outage (Keep all discussion in this post please)

Bandwidth

The problem with a no-name carrier is that they are likely buying wholesale from a large carrier, like bandwidth.com or another carrier who then, in turn, buys from someone like bandwidth.com. So, you are having the same problems, but you are several hops downstream from it all. Additionally, if they are a target, they likely will not have the resources (both technically and financially) to reach out to a specialist company that can mitigate these types of attacks.

VoIP.ms

Eh, I don't think that's all "Cloudflare learning the ropes". Bandwidth's infrastructure was already better positioned to handle an attack-- voip.ms is much simpler from what I see. Plus voip.ms is regularly announcing they are deploying "secure servers" as they clearly had to step up their infrastructure, and I bet that hampered Cloudflare's ability to protect quickly.
