On the heels of Charter proclaiming that they are tracking your porn surfing activities so that they can deliver targeted advertising to you, comes this question: What else are ISPs doing? One of the things that is on the list is that it is possible that your ISP is altering web pages before they get to you (Rogers for one has been caught doing this). To check for this, surf to this website:

http://vancouver.cs.washington.edu/

This site will check to see if the contents of the website that you are surfing to are being altered by your ISP. The test is quick, so you’ll either have piece of mind or a reason to rip your ISP a new one in seconds.
