So even though Netflix at any given time can account for over a third of all Internet traffic, ISP's should be required to deal with them as if they're a small site like TD?
Why does it matter what data ISP customers access? It doesn't cost the ISP more whether the data coming across is 00110011 or 11001100, what costs them more is the volume and velocity of the data, and that is what they charge their customer, the data consumer, for.

Where is the incentive for an ISP to invest in improving its infrastructure
Because they can charge THEIR customers more to access more data. NetFlix is NOT Verizon's customer. Verizon's customer is the one choosing to access NetFlix, if that causes Verizon problems, then Verizon should take it up with THEIR customer.
