They could measure the size of the JS payload, and subtract that from the size of the web page, before adding that number to the number of bytes used in a billing period. That way they could "more-fairly" measure bandwidth usage even with their MITM "value-add" and "informative" content.
Though, seriously, I have a hard time understanding the reasoning for data caps on DOCSIS infrastructure. On LTE, yes. WISP, yeah - kinda. DOCSIS, DSL and GPON? Absolutely no!
Not to mention the horrifying realization of most uninformed people that their ISP can and will intercept, log, modify or restrict access to content that the user has requested, even though the user has the right to such content, having paid the monthly subscription fee for the connection. But hey, I don't work at a large cable ISP, I couldn't possibly understand their reasoning and advanced calculations. /s

- guntars 7y agoIt’s my impression that the bottleneck isn’t the last mile technology (wireless, copper or fiber), but the interconnects between ISPs and the rest of the internet. This is why Netflix can be crawling in the evening while you’re getting the full speed on a speedtest (that’s not fast.com)
