What kind of an ISP employee can view one's internet history??

With everything now being recorded in the UK can anyone working at your ISP view your history? For example even if you were to call your ISP's telephone technician say at Sky would even they be able to view your history? I know your ISP now keeps logs but never thought of it the other way.
They are split into tiers and all have access to different data at different levels. For instance when you call to speak to customer services they will have access to account details, sales dept will also have this, repairs and faults will have all the technical information available from your phone line sky box and so on.That being said, Security takes precedence over everything and they do occasionally randomly monitor workers phone calls and what they are doing on screen etc.
As far as boxes etc go. They will just show up as an item connected like a phone, tablet, smart TV etc nothing else.

as far as I'm aware the answer is NO, your isp for example can see where your connected to, in regards to using the Web, why dont you just use a vpn and a Internet browser that is private and that doesn't log what your doing. But in regards to day to day use it would take something bad for your isp to monitor you, but again use a vpn.

Exactly so if the police had a tip off for terrorism or child porn then they could get your vpn and isp to monitor you, dont be under any illusions, if your doing something disgusting like that, A VPN will not save you and rightly so... (just to clarify im not saying that anyone is doing that, I'm just trying to give an example that your not fully protected) but for day to day use of the Web surfing, your fine
 
Think they keep a log for upto 12 months even vpn companies that say no logs kept they do. Don't know how it actually works with logging data ect apart from with regards to people receiving letters about downloading torrents ect
 
I know that the best vpn companies who say they don't log, means that they don't log baz, for example the big vpns out there use something called ram disk mode which means that they don't use hard drives so even if they wanted to log you its impossible for them 2 do so... in 2017 the Turkish authorities got a court order to take 2 servers from express vpn headquarters, it was in regards to a massive case they was working on hence why they took them, anyway they couldn't find anything to help with the enquiry.... express vpn came out and said that it was absolutely pointless them taking the servers because we don't log due to ram disk mode, it worked out great for them bcuz they had a real life incident which proved there no log policy but I must say you are 100% correct that some vpns say no logging but infact they do... for example there's one in Hong Kong (can't remember the name) they said they had a no log policy and the Hong Kong police took a server and found what they were looking for lol.

People are slaughtering vpns these days as its meant to be easier for them to pinpoint your traffic, supposedly vpns keep it all together instead of your data being scattered. I only use one for the films, not that I watch much bar the odd les film anyhow lol.
But yeah, their Intel services are second to none. They want to see what you have they'll come right through your firewall and everything. Had to edit that post there incase I freaked the guy out haha

Furthermore, there is a new technology they have that I'll not say too much about in an open forum. But it's used on people who use virtual machines and proxies to access the so called dark net and whistleblowing sites etc. This new tech is the ultimate intelligence tool and has been used by NSA and GCHQ for some time now. It involves the use of satellites that can monitor the actual user themselves. It was developed many years ago but only recently was fine tuned and deployed as an interrogation method at guantanamo for the terrorism act.

Tim Scott does a lovely riff on VPNs. if you were a nefarious government who wanted to scrape everyone who didn't want to be scraped you would simply offer a fantastic VPN service and have everyone who wants to be careful come direct to you.

Ideally connect to a server based in a country with strict privacy laws such as Switzerland.

Proton VPN offers secure core servers that are based in these countries and was initially built with disadent journos in mind

I don't think just anyone would be able to see your web history or even be checking it as there is no reason for an any of the employees to do so. The only time they may pull any history from their servers will be if they get a letter from the courts. They will have processors in place obviously to flag any dodgey sites that are visited and these will be automatically emailed across to a specific team to assess and take further if required and also blacklist via their proxy servers.

You may be right but the consequences that world is facing right now is totally a disrupt one. SO you can not imagine whats coming next and what will gonna happen in next coming months. So taking early precautionary measures can help you definitely. Like hiding your browser history is one of it. I came up with an easy article on this subject, have a look at it and you will definitely get to know the seriousness of this topic. Ref: How to hide browser history from ISP
I knew my ISP was tracking me so the fist initiative I did was to change my ISP with a legitimate one and secondly I bought multiple subscriptions from VPNs because I can't bear that since many years my privacy was never my privacy it was public. So I can take actions now and can save myself and my loved ones from this growing internet threat..
 
@Josephpaul , realy confused you changed your ISP to a legitimate ISP multiple vpn's hope you realise some vpn providers do keep logs vpn-logging-policies

Absolutely true mate, vpns cannot protect one's identity when required by law to hand over logs and ip addresses of servers/users.
Anti-Piracy and cops simply produce a warrant/subpoena to produce servers/ip addresses linked to the abuse of protected and copyrighted content. The "No-Logs" policy is pie in the sky and really just a sales pitch used by vpn
providers to win over potential customers confidence. A superficial sense of security
If they really want to find you they'll find you

the old servers with two network cards were pretty secure if using netbui locally on one and ip on the internet . of course nowt really runs properly without masses of sockets and ports being open. but they cant get in if its switched off.
