Wouldn't this be in conflict with the idea of "network neutrality" rules?
Depends. Was softlayer up-front with the customers about what addresses are blocked, and why? If the customers knew that softlayer had a block list and had a way to tell if it was impacting their network access, that's one thing. If softlayer was doing it without informed consent from its customers, that's a different kettle of fish....
