Likely nobody would even realize. It's not like the telcos would block sites. Instead, suddenly Netflix loads a lot slower than Comcast. Blame Netflix and move on.

That lasts right up until Netflix puts a big banner on their page for Comcast customers that explains the situation.
Netflix might have the clout to do so, but a small startup which nobody has heard of never would.
