Yes, it is likely. Many big ISPs block "server" ports, especially
on their "consumer"-level offerings. It is possible that your
ISP has changed their policy, and is now blocking ports.

You could portscan your internet-facing IP address from outside
your lan. You could use
  https://pentest-tools.com/network-vulnerability-scanning/tcp-port-scanner-online-nmap
or
  https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

Either
 - move your services to ports not blocked by your ISP, or
 - lease a commercial-level offering from your ISP, or
 - get a new ISP

Yah. And, if the ISP has a policy (see their "Terms Of Use")
of not permitting their clients to have servers, you /might/
run into a bit of "contract trouble" with your ISP if their
technical support reports you.
