What an odd question. ISPs sell a link to their customers, they don't need to be okay with it.

the "link" (guaranteed amount of bandwidth) they sell to you as a home customer ends with the next hop.

And so does the consumer's concern at that point, who is paying for a link with a guaranteed bandwidth. How they accomplish that beyond my home wall jack is simply not my concern, just like I don't care where the electricity in my sockets is being sourced from.
