A few ISPs, like Sonic, maintain neutrality by their own policies. Then I read not only of throttling but of horrors like replacing ads on websites with different ones that pay the ISP.
- RealStickman_ 5y agoThat's why every website should use HTTPS.
- brezelgoring 5y agoI don't know if that would change things, they know the whole SSL Handshake by virtue of being the ISP. I'm not sure anything can save you here.
- Cerium 5y agoI think the point of SSL is that parties in the middle with full view of the communications still cannot view or manipulate payload.
- imtringued 5y agoThat's a man in the middle attack. What's absurd is that the ISP you are paying is doing the attack.
- RealStickman_ 5y agoThat would only be possible if they proxy your connections and you have accepted their certificate. The entire point of SSL is to create an End-to-End encrypted connection between you and your target server. That includes anyone who can view and try to manipulate your traffic.
