I think that the explanation of your ISP is quite plausible.
I would not be at all surprised if the backbone providers
have filtering in place for a variety of reasons. And if this
is the case, your packets can't travel over their networks,
and you have a problem.

The real solution is to get your own IP addresses and advertise them
to all the providers that you are connected to. Unfortunately,
this tends to be a rather costly procedure.
