Ingress traffic probably has no DSCP set. Your ISP would be getting the packets 
from some other ISP (possibly several layers of this) who get it from the 
sender. Each time the packet is handed off from one organization to another, the 
DSCP settings loose their meaning and have a really good chance of being 
stripped.
