the ISP's and other providers automatic security safeguards are now kicking in as the amount of bandwidth the ads are using is being identified as DDOS attacks and are closing ports to protect themselves.

Umm, nice use of big words. Nevertheless, utter and complete nonsense. With all due respect.

I'm sorry, but this is not factual information. DDOS attacks and SYN floods are never done over HTTP/HTTPS. If the ports that ads use were blocked by an ISP, they wouldn't be an ISP for long because they would be blocking all web traffic.
