Do you think there could be a large enough organized DDOS attack on multiple high profile broadband companies to so to say "disrupt the internet"? Would that even be possible?

No, DDoS uses their services, it doesn't attack it.

Is it possible to "attack" an internet provider in a manner that would shut down its service for all or most of its customers?

100% ingress coverage when?
>>51657227
Yes, though it'd be extremely difficult as they tend to have multiple redundant gateways for failover and load balancing/optimal routing. Not to mention they also tend to have the biggest pipes after internet backbones.
They're also in one of the better positions to mitigate said efforts in a speedy fashion.
So while yes, you could point every SSDP-compromised device in Korea at some US ISP, but you'd likely only partially knock out their services, and they'd probably have most of your shit blocked way further upstream within a fairly short timeframe.

Cut their major trunks.

Let us simplify things a bit.
A website is like a small stream. A visitor is a thirsty person coming to take a sip. A DDoS is when you get a bunch of non-thirsty people from far and wide to all come and take a sip from the stream, drying it up and preventing the genuinely thirsty from drinking.
A broadband company is like an ocean.
