So a packet capture on that with your IP as the filter, and yeah, they can see the traffic... Does a T1 or T2 helpdesk monkey have access to do that? Hell no, but it's still plausible for your ISP such as Spark / TelstraClear etc to do-so. |

SSL/TLS is still secure I also could be running a VPN It's a scaremongering piece of journalism designed to generate clicks |

| 1435754 | 2017-06-02 04:51:00 | LOL, and next: all your calls and texts that helpdesk people sit there all day reading/listening to. That's why your wait times are so long, they're saying hang on, just got to finish reading this one, it's such a laugh. (That's sarcasm, in case someone actually believes that) |

This is why there are the HTTPS Everywhere initiatives, along with LetsEncrypt. So the statement: It's also a ridiculously incorrect statement to claim ISPs can see all your traffic. is factually incorrect. ISP's *can*, but, basically choose not to, because it's pretty much pointless. |
