Send the ISP a letter asking about this (and the other websites that were blocked) and saying that you might cancel if the issue isn't fixed.

My ISP has a monopoly so it's not like I can go somewhere else, and they know that, so they'll just call my bluff. They also have no guarantee of service. That's mostly so they aren't liable when like there's a storm and it goes down, but they also use it to screw people over. Furthermore, blocking specific websites is entirely legal since net neutrality was repealed.

This is why cutting red tape and promoting competition is necessary for a functioning marketplace.

I think that it's necessary to regulate the market, but when regulations impede upon the market's ability to function properly it might be time to repeal some.

I'm not a free-market type, rather a Corporatist, but I do agree that the current regulations hurt normal people and only serve the rich.
