> Far quicker to type ping 1.1 than ping 1.1.1.1

I guess. I wouldn't have thought it worthwhile for 4 chars, but yes.

> 1.0.0.0/24 is a different network than 1.1.1.0/24 too, so can be hosted elsewhere.

I thought anycast gave them that on a single IP, though perhaps this is even more resilient?

Not a network expert but anycast will give you different routes depending on where you are. But having 2 IPs will give you different routes to them from the same location. In this case since the error was BGP related, and they clearly use the same system to announce both IPs, both were affected.

In the internet world you can't really advertise subnets smaller than a /24, so 1.1.1.1/32 isn't a route, it's via 1.1.1.0/24

You can see they are separate routes, say looking at Telia's routing IP

https://lg.telia.net/?type=bgp&router=fre-peer1.se&address=1...

https://lg.telia.net/?type=bgp&router=fre-peer1.se&address=1...

In this case they both are advertised from the same peer above, I suspect they usually are - they certainly come from the same AS, but they don't need to. You could have two peers with cloudflare with different weights for each /24
