I **was** having similar problems as all you guys did. The problem seems to have rectified itself. I'd guess something GOT screwed at their end, though I doubt they were TRULY blocking packets "knowingly". I'd suspect they were doing their own internal testing with certain firewalls/new software. However the problem was also the DSL modem was not syncing in properly etc. I'd say network glitch at their end.
