My ISP (iinet) hasn't banned these sites.
I noticed that Voat stopped working on Tuesday last week while using my mobile phone (on the Telstra network). I use a VPN on my mobile phone to get around the ban, though it is inconvenient.
I didn't think that Voat hosted videos, it is just a discussion site that may contain links to The Video. They surely can't say that Voat is hosting The Video, so not sure why they have banned it.
ImgTC isn't working for me at all now. It worked at lunchtime on my mobile phone, but only when not connected to the VPN.

It's true. Only the big companies: Telstra/Optus/Vodafone banned it. They also shared their information between themselves and conspired to ban sites that shared the video and even ones that did not.
As far as I know, the smaller telcos like iinet, TPG and Dodo are all not doing the censorship thing. Time to change service providers and support businesses who are on board with providing a proper service to their customers.

If I had Telstra, Optus or Vodafone as an ISP I would leave them over the ban.
They are unfortunately the only providers that do mobile networks, so we are stuck with them. TPG were planning on doing their own mobile network, they bought some of the 4G spectrum so hopefully they still will.
