It's not a net-neutrality issue because they're not banking on any alternative.

Net-neutrality law doesn't work like that. Service providers still get to filter stuff.

What's illegal for an ISP is e.g. to give VoIP services other than their own a lower priority. That would tie in customers to use their own service and they could even charge more for it. Net neutrality means a level playing field for services on the Internet.

If you ask your ISP to do filtering, that's perfectly legal. If they filter specific traffic for the purpose of maintaining service, that's okay too.

Now if there was no alternative and they'd try to sell their product by blocking telnet, they could be sued.

This is not an ISP. It's a Tier 1 transit provider.

		The more unlikely they would violate net neutrality unless they would be tied in to CDNs and accept a bribe to favour one service over another. Possible but unlikely.
