    It’s possible they’ve gotten smarter these days.

    I don’t know how ISPs are allowed to do this when it’s a very obvious violation of net neutrality.

      If I recall correctly, they justify it by claiming they need to do deep packet inspection to balance traffic. There’s a fuzzy line between them needing to optimize their network equipment and respecting privacy, and the rulings seem to favor the former.
