It definitely looks like a DNS issue, I'm able to retrieve SRV records 
from here, so I think my first call would be to AT&T to get working DNS 
or to arrange partial payment for partial connectivity.

Failing that, why can't you use alternative DNS servers as configured on 
your machine itself rather than at the router level?
