    How did AT&T block these upstream from you? Unless they installed a proxy
    firewall, or a router that can effectively do layer 4+ filtering I can't
    see this being accomplished for all customers off a AT&T edge router.
    
    Perhaps did they block this traffic on a firewall they manage for you?
