From my experience about 8-10 years ago when the shaping hardware was not that flexible a lot of ISPs analysed the traffic and changed shaping routes dynamically which usually reset the shaping for the local ISP network segment (coaxial networks). This resulted in exactly what OP describes.

I was surprised about how a lot of stuff in networking I quickly dismissed at first was actually reality.
