What evidence have you got to support this assumption?

if I were you, I'd document the problem really well, make doubly
(triple) sure it IS their problem, get a ticket # with all the
informatin from the ISP, and then keep calling them until you are on
first name basis with each person in the call centre...and keep
escalating till you talk to someone who realises that their spending
time on the phone with you is mor expensive than fixing the problem.

whois usd217.org shows your NS are:
Name Server:GALLEY.USD217.ORG
Name Server:OTTO.USD217.ORG
otto doesn't seem to answer any NS queries :
---
$ nslookup.exe - otto.usd217.org
*** Can't find server name for address 209.42.72.250: Timed out
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
Default Server: UnKnown

a) is it supposed to?
b) if not, why have it as secondary NS at all?
galley seems ok:
--
$ nslookup.exe - galley.usd217.org
Default Server: galley.usd217.org
Address: 209.42.72.2
> set type=mx
> usd217.org
Server: galley.usd217.org
Address: 209.42.72.2
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
usd217.org MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = galley.usd217.org
usd217.org nameserver = ns.usd217.org
galley.usd217.org internet address = 209.42.72.2
ns.usd217.org internet address = 209.42.72.2

now, to your ISP. I'm assuming they provide NS services to their clients
using ns1.pld.com and ns2.pld.com
$ nslookup.exe - ns1.pld.com
Default Server: ns1.pld.com
Address: 206.253.33.130
> set type=mx
> usd217.org
Non-authoritative answer:
Server: ns1.pld.com
Address: 206.253.33.130
usd217.org MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = galley.usd217.org
usd217.org nameserver = ns.usd217.org
galley.usd217.org internet address = 209.42.72.2
ns.usd217.org internet address = 209.42.72.2
> set type=ns
> usd217.org
Non-authoritative answer:
Server: ns1.pld.com
Address: 206.253.33.130
usd217.org nameserver = ns.usd217.org
ns.usd217.org internet address = 209.42.72.2
----
$ nslookup.exe - ns2.pld.com
Default Server: ns2.pld.com
Address: 206.253.33.131

Server: ns2.pld.com

usd217.org MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = galley.usd217.org
usd217.org nameserver = ns.usd217.org
galley.usd217.org internet address = 209.42.72.2
ns.usd217.org internet address = 209.42.72.2

> otto.usd217.org
Non-authoritative answer:
Server: ns2.pld.com
Address: 206.253.33.131
otto.usd217.org internet address = 209.42.72.251
usd217.org nameserver = ns.usd217.org
ns.usd217.org internet address = 209.42.72.2

they seem to have the right information. now, IIRC, otto is doing
nothing right? why don't you just give otto's IP to galley and see if
that solves the problem? Otherwise, you may be having other problems at
hand.
