That's probably because AT&T is using 1.1.1.1 for something internal and breaking the public internet for it's users: you get a really fast ping on 1.1.1.1, but it's not the 1.1.1.1 you are trying to reach.
Is this just speculation or can anybody confirm?

    traceroute to 1.1.1.1 (1.1.1.1), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets

Seems AT&T uses 1.1.1.1 inside of their modems. Oops!

Using 1.0.0.1 works.

Given that they're a CDN, I would expect them to. I'm jealous that BNA has AT&T peering but Kansas City has minimal/no peering.
haha, I knew that was you when I read Nashville, nodesocket
