We have had a similar case publicly exposed here in the UK a little while ago with Phorm and British Telecom: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-13015194 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-13015194 There is a good chance that such practices may be found to be illegal in a UK court (Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act primarily with some discussion about applying the Data Protection Act or Computer Misuse Act) but they haven't been tested yet.
