I didn't get the OP's e-mail, but (assuming this is in US) customers 
have a lot of leverage. Just keep tor and torrent clients running, and 
call their customer service, and demand an explanation why the service 
they charge you money for doesn't work. Let them send the live 
technician to fix the problem. Escalate this as much as possible. 
Eventually they will have to fix your connection (with the mentioned 
services running). And if they don't, you can sue them in small claims 
court and demand compensation for all time, effort, suffering, emotional 
distress, deprivation of service, etc, etc, etc. And you will likely 
easily win the case.

Just trying to work around the problem in technical ways with bridges, 
Pluggable Transport, trying to hide tor traffic isn't necessarily the 
right way to deal with the problem.
