Very difficult to avoid ISP intrusion since they are the ones allowing you access to the internet. As you've said already a VPN is the way to solve this but even that is still going to have its own problems related to privacy. I would never trust a vpn provider, I would recommend you learn to setup your own vps box (linode, digitalocean, aws, etc) and run an ssh vpn through it. Then you have absolute confidence that your activities are not being monitored by the provider. But again there is an ISP giving your vps access to the net now which can monitor you, and if THEY try hard enough they can correlate your activities back to you.
