Particularly egregious:

I'm assuming this is via some sort of injection over unencrypted HTTP?

You will get scripts and arbitarary JS evals appended onto your pages.

Injected inline; sometimes your DNS resolutinos might be hijacked to resolve to a comcast IP afaik

ISPs resort to this stuff because there is no standard protocol for ISPs to notify their customers of anything.
