Safe Harbor in DMCA does say that repeat infringers should be terminated from service. I do think it’s government overreach because for many, you only have one ISP as an option, and cutting you off from internet access is very severely impactful to many. This seems like a court matter directly between the copyright holders and the infringing end user.
Perhaps I’m biased in this regard, not really sure how the law shakes out. I will say that Grande was an amazing ISP. I had them for probably 8 years before I moved out of Texas, and my boss for several years was a former Grande employee. Everyone had great things to say about them. One time, our internet went down during a historic flood, and they ended up flying a fiber line across the flooded river using a drone to get service back to everyone. It was entertaining to follow that.
I’ve heard they’re owned by someone new now; not sure if they’re still good.
