I'm not sure how things work over there... whereever there is... but on my side of the world ISP's providing "broadband" block numerous ports to reduce applications such as gaming and P2P from crippling the network.
This is normally all written in the fine print.
I suggest you first talk to someone at the ISP and find out if they are doing this. You will need to know the port number being used by the games.
