But another issue is that if it isn't banned, it can happen in private. The ISP doesn't need to actually throttle the target's traffic if it can credibly threaten to and force them into a contract with an NDA, so we have no way to know how widespread it is.

They caused the service to be non-functional. Your objection is to the method of degrading the service?
