I think it would be fantastic for a website or group of websites (of adequate size) to put their foot down and cut off any ISP who QOSes them and asks for money. I think at that point if the site was used enough the ISPs home subscribers would either raise a big enough stink or just switch away.
It would really need the right situation but it could set a new precedent and make ISPs realize that their service is useless if the sites their uses use do not preform well.
