They didn't disrupt anything.
They exported labor and exploited people from poorer countries more and faster than the historical ISPs which still had a strong local grounding and historic background as state agencies.

They were also the first ISP providing a service by using the ground networks of the other providers, so they built nothing.

And of course, after getting a lot marketshare with low prices, they have been riqing them again for the past 10 years.

The story of the modern age.
