The ISP position is brain-dead. They say that services like Youtube are unfairly saturating their pipes and not compensating them.
Nevermind that access to things like Youtube is exactly what CREATES demand for internet service. You think people are paying for broadband so they can send emails faster??
What they're saying to Google is "if you don't stop creating so much demand for our connections, we're going to go out of business!" Which can be simplified to, "we don't charge enough to cover our costs!"
Which is either false (likely) or indicates that they're incompetent. But it's nobody else's fault, least of all the fault of services that ISP customers are paying to access.
