I'm not certain it is relevant anymore but ISPs used to MITM DNS requests and would send you to redirects for search/advertising pages for what should've been NXDOMAIN responses. Google at the moment has a better track record here.

They didn’t MITM the requests ... you had to explicitly be using the ISP’s DNS servers. And yes this is one of the reasons I long ago stopped using my ISPs DNS servers.

So I've encountered ISPs that do MITM the requests regardless of which provider you use.
