Well ruling has come down that ISP companies cannot charge Netflix/Hulu for excessive usage. ISP companies cannot block these websites. What ISP companies can do is put data caps (200GB a month) like your cellphone, throttle bandwidth (cases pending), or cut your service (I have had a few people get letters).
