So, I wonder if I can ask classiccmp members, especially in the US, to

I cannot make a connection. My DNS is able to resolve the address.
ISP is Charter cable, Madison WI (Fitchburg, from the DNS name), then to
Eau Claire WI, then Chicago, IL where it looks like they apparently peer
with Cogent.
As with others, the traceroute stopped at Cogent. Note that this may
mean that the next hop after that blocks all of the packets or it could
mean that the next hop is blocking just the traceroute packets.

I saw the same sort of thing but I let traceroute keep running. The result is that it
started giving real answers again just one or two hops later.
Conclusion: hops 16-20ish are blocking traceroute packets. Later hops aren't.
It's hard to be patient sometimes, but while * * * sometimes indicates "this is
as far as you get" it may also indicate just a few nodes that are not cooperating
with traceroute on a functional route.
