They have a new fantasy where they want a fee from high bandwidth platforms like Netflix and YouTube, because suppisedly they can't deliver what they already charged consumers for. More likely because there's a lot of money moving about and they want a bigger slice.

If a water bottling company moved into your town I'm sure you'd support them paying a little extra. You pay for your water too.

That data is only flowing to me because I requested it, and the ISP already sold me an uncapped service.

Can you explain your analogy? I'm unclear if the aquifer is the ISP, the video platform, or something else.
