If the ISP really feels this way, a logical solution would be to allow exits from their network, thereby increasing the capacity of non-government nodes. The irony.

Unless they think there's a significant chance *you're* a US government agent.

In which case little would annoy the aforementioned gov't agent more than one or more ISPs setting up their own network of high capacity exit nodes.
