Many will leave even if they are not threatened purely through bad press and word of mouth. That's what I did with my first ISP when they sent me an equivalent letter. I was disgusted that they were monitoring my use of the internet and imposing such restrictive limits (at the time it was an abysmally small monthly limit that was hidden under mountains of small print in the precursor to a FUP) If your ISP is willing to hand out your personal info to a third party without a specific warrant for that info, it's time to find another that has a little respect for your privacy and hasn't grown a massively inflated head about just what is their position in the scheme of all things legal, moral or intangible..
