About 15 years ago this happened to me they canceled my internet and I was super bummed. For some reason like 2 days later with the modem still hooked up but no internet I tried using my VPN and bam I was back online I still don’t understand how but through the vpn I still had internet for like 6 months
Sounds like they could have been lazy and simply disabled/blocked your dns lookups, or stopped providing your route to 0.0.0.0/0. VPN provides new dns provider and a route to the internet at large, and you’re back in business.
