    I checked the IP of eso eu server on the agency's site, and it appears to not be blocked. Why we can't connect without vpn, then, is unclear.

    Net neutrality is not what you think it is. It doesn't make the net open and neutral. It regulates the net so only certain (approved) companies can sell access to the net.

    BS.

    Net neutrality is about (shocker) keeping the net neutral. The FCC interpretation of Title II of the Communications Act of 1934 resulted in the Open Internet Order of 2015 (better known as net neutrality), which established a set of rules that ISPs had to follow, including not throttling access, not creating "fast lane" or discriminatory services, and some other rules that already are applied to other telecommunications under the FCC purview. The order also clarified language on the use of broadband, and established new transparency rules for ISPs regarding consumer data.

    In short, FCC Title II made it so that ISPs had to abide by the same rules as cable and telephone companies, and set new rules to protect consumers.

    FCC OIO 2015 does nothing to license ISPs. At all.

    I'm pretty sure most people outside Russia don't know about the current situation. All this started with the unwillingness of Pavel Durov (owner of Telegram - one of the most widespread and popular messangers in Russia) to transfer decypher keys to Russian Federal Supervision Agency for Information Technologies and Communications (for the purpose of Russia's MIA being able to read people's Telegram chat to detect and prevent possible terrorist attacks). Russian authorities got mad and declared war to Telegram by blocking all IP addresses that are used by this messenger. The thing is that the messanger is constantly shifting IP adresses and "travels" from one IP to another resulting in the online services of the most popular titans like Google, Amazon and others being blocked on the territory of the Russian Federation.

    Now we literally just can't log in to Steam - its servers are unavailable; to PlayStation servers that are unavailable too. Now listen: in addition to ESO oficial website, we also can't log in now to YouTube, Amazon, Ikea, IMDB.com, and others! I can write this post on the forum, because surprisingly it is operatable now and works with lags, but works...

    ESO can'be accessed too - when I'm trying to run launcher, its says "Unable to reach patch manifest." What to do??

    How is it possile to play now? If not running launcher and try to log in to the game by clicking on eso64.exe, the game runs before the password screen where when entering valid ID and password, nothing happens, the game throws an "Error 200" message...

    Russian players just want to log in to the game, is it possible or how then we can manage the situation with unavailable game now?

    This is very strange, maybe a coincidence, but a russian member of my guild donated 2 million to the guild yesterday, for no reason. Just other than he said he is not greedy and has made 4mil over the event.
    maybe this is why.

    As for playing, use a proxy, simple!
    Use an EU or American one. As for general internetting use a proxy, or even better TOR.

    Net neutrality is not open and fair practice it is trying to disguise itself as. It adds many regulation that allow the government to pick and choose what it considers fair.

    Observe how the specimen defends the repeal by presenting opinion as fact, ignoring that they themselves will be also be negatively impacted by the fact that its now allowed to throttle internet access for cheaper subscriptions, for instance.
