The whole thread stinks like an MTU issue, but (assuming you were still on
the same IP as when you sent the message) remote probing showed that while
the MTU was asymmetric (1460 redback to you, 1476 you to redback) PMTU
discovery seemed to be working just fine.

I would suggest setting the MTU on the client side to 1460 to match the
downlink, but keep looking at other things, like firewall rules in play,
and the possibility of a dirty link/error issue.

Cannot check any stats from home though, limited to simple network probes
while at home.
