Do you think a complaint from all three customers in your area who understand the issue is going to change anything, especially when options are limited and your only choices of ISP are engaging in the same behavior?

On unencrypted connections, there's nothing preventing an intermediary from altering a page. Assume it happens.

A complain by three people wouldn't make much but if it is just three people in an entire country then the issue doesn't matter much in the first place.

On the other hand, a complain by all the customers of the service over the entire country who understand the issue could make a difference.
