As long as the profit from doing shady things and lying is greater then the cost of settling a lawsuit, companies will be dishonest and do shady things.

So, no, I don't believe threat of litigation is any barrier to how ISPs conduct their business. In fact, with how pro-business and fuck-consumer the current climate is from the govt, its just going to get worse.
