Yes, every ISP will want to keep network usage as close to 100% as is feasible, many do it through business usage balancing out the lighter residential usage periods.
I can understand 70-80% maybe even 90% but not 100%. Unless QOS doesnt matter to them. As inevitibly there will be natural spikes and unexpected periods of utilisation so 100% will mean congestion and explains the peak time tbb issues etc.

I know isps who consider anything above 60% as over utilised. So to say every isp is a bit of a stretch.

I remember entanet trying this experiment and it didnt exactly work out well for them (the other way round using residental to fill business off peak), even aaisp have hit trouble trying to share business and consumers together using this method. It seems isps just want peak to be 24/7. Greed to squeeze every bit of revenue possible from capacity.
