It effectively creates congestion points within the provider's network, if none existed prior to implementing the prioritization scheme. "I encourage all my competitors to do that."
And yet, I'm pretty sure there are providers that have different pipes for business than they do for consumer, and probably riding some of the same physical medium. This creates saturated and unsaturated pipes, which is just as bad or worse than using QOS. The reason I'm pretty sure about it, is business circuits generally are guaranteed, while consumer are not.
