I don't think your service provider has ever stated that they are fully
connected connected with the "Internet" (what ever that may be). 

The reason that world.std.com wasn't reachable yesterday, is that they
are a fully  commercial system that doesn't have NSFnet connected status
because they are not in the situation to enforce adherence to any 
acceptable-use-policy  (they don't have all to much control over the 
users on their system).

As far as it's possible for me to tell, the normal routing that you are subject
to would not allow you to reach a site without NSFnet connected status in the
US.
