It should have minimal impact to any ISP run properly.

As I recall, the entire Netflix US catalogue fits in a 4U box, so it would
be sensible for them to offer a cache to ISPs so that their connectivity is
minimally affected. ISPs should consider taking up this (if they offer it
at all - oh hang on, they do <https://www.netflix.com/openconnect>) and may
even choose to locate multiple boxes in major POPs.

Otherwise, caps and usage charges should take care of the rest if your
pricing is sustainable and you've not ridiculously oversubscribed your
access backhaul.
