Remember that your isp can have routing issues too.

Im afraid this is not limited to pfsense. Ive had my shares of weird routing 
glitches where a upstream  bgp router lost significant parts of the internet.

This is not something ypu could work around short of having your own bgp router 
with multiple feeds in house.
