    I don't think it matters what modem you use. The ISP will have to assign an IP address to it. Likewise, they will need to know where you want to send your packets. You can encrypt what is in the packet to prevent them from seeing what is in it, put it will still have a to and from address. If you are really paranoid, you can route the packet through third parties around the world. But that seems a little extreme for what amount to zero benefit.

    Remember, the ISP is probably trapping data for the government. Maybe they decided to use it for their advantage.

    Even if an ISP did know what sites someone is visiting (despite using VPNs and everything) how do they know what's on a particular machine? The machine could have software installed from any source - pen drives, external hard drives, another ISP, mobile internet, DVDs, LAN connection etc. Looks like the only way they did know was to have some kind of spyware installed on the machine. Either that or it's just a hoax perpetrated by someone within the company, trying to run a scam.
