The only company that crippled Netflix was Cogent. I love Cogent (I've used their services), but they made a mistake taking on Netflix as a CDN client. Cogent prides itself on settlement free peering. Netflix pushed them beyond the settlement free contracts and they had no incentive to upgrade the peering links. That isn't the ISP's problem. The whole Netflix issue a few years back had nothing to do with net neutrality and everything to do with settlement free peering contracts.
