If you are browsing without a VPN or proxy, you should be more careful now than ever.
I've been using a VPN for years now. Coincidentally, shortly after I started using a VPN, Comcast shut down my modem remotely and told me I had to have someone come on-site to fix it. I threatened to cancel my problem-free service of 8 years and they came back 10 minutes later saying they were able to fix it on their side and my modem rebooted and I was able to get online again. This happened again months later and, after threatening to cancel, they did their 'magic' and brought my internet back online. Around 6 months later this happened AGAIN and I got an audio recording of them telling me the reason that they need to come on-site to fix my internet was because someone was 'tapping into my line somewhere on my property'. I don't think she realized that I could hear someone behind her coaching her what to say and she would repeat what I would say outloud so that the person behind her could hear it.
I have 2MP surveillance cameras on all sides of my house and I am the one who wired the coax cabling. I crawled under my house and double checked all of the coax lines and everything was normal. I had my bud who is a contractor double check it and hook up a line tester to test signal and it was fine all the way out to splitter.
Comcast REALLY wanted to have someone come to my house. I canceled my service and pay a premium for hotspot service now.

Don't trust your ISP, they are your enemy. Look at using a VPN. I recommend https://www.privateinternetaccess.com because they are the ONLY VPN service to prove their 'no logs' claim because the FBI subpoenaed them for the logs and they didn't really keep any. https://torrentfreak.com/vpn-providers-no-logging-claims-tested-in-fbi-case-160312/ If you have an old gift card lying around, check if its one they will take payment for.
