QUIC traffic throttled on AT&T residential

If by targeting DDoSes you mean rate limiting all UDP (because some UDP 
is bad), then I would expect that policy to be published on a provider's 
website so that folks using UDP would at least have the option to 
research and know this info before signing up or agreeing to a service 
commitment. Similarly, application developers could point to a 
provider's policy when designing their applications or assisting users. 
Even if Net Neutrality is dead, I believe the "Restoring Internet 
Freedom" order is still a thing in the US.
