I'd be very surprised if an HTTPS connection were intercepted in such a manner.
Wait.. you do connect via HTTPS exclusively when dealing with US ISPs, right?

Missed a key part of your question. HTTP/HTTPS is determined by the website. What appears to be happening is blocking of port 80. I plan to poke it once I look up the appropriate query to send via telnet.

No, it's determined by what you ask your browser to do. HTTPS does not even use port 80.
Any website which doesn't support HTTPS today is probably not worth visiting, and it likely won't be long before browsers won't allow HTTP by default.

And the ISP in question is?
You tried on another device?

At least I can't be thrown in jail for using the wrong pronoun, yet. I intend to take up the issue with my representatives to DC.
ISP is Optimum which apparently bought Suddenlink. I have *explicit statements from two different support supervisors that it would not be unblocked*.
So I'm shopping Hughes and Starlink.

I've checked BGP: 23.227.38.0/23 is announced by AS13335 which is Cloudflare. So all DNS entries end up at Cloudflare.
heltec.org points to 47.56.130.228 (Alibaba Cloud) and 47.56.0.0/16 is announced by AS45102 (Alibaba).
