There are multiple instances of internet service providers blocking VOIP in order to promote their telephone services, among other violations of net neutrality. They mostly got shut down by the FCC, until the FCC was sued claiming they didn't have the power to do this as internet wasn't title 2.
Basically the problem didn't exist only because it was regulated against. Now it is no longer regulated against.
