For the purpose of comparison, we have the same issue in France, although we do not have Netflix there. ISPs are slowing down Google services / Cogent / … and asking them to pay[1]. One went so far as to remove Youtube ads on-the-fly without telling (let alone asking) the consumers beforehand. And slowly, not limiting bandwidth becomes an argument for the customer to pay more, as well[2]. They are looking for a target to increase their revenue. Given the targets they pick, I'd say they're mostly driven by envy.
