[Cialug] Remedies for Verizon Behaving Badly?

[Matthew Nuzum]

I can confirm that http isn't being touched (or wasn't as of last week). I
tested this with my personal iPad (t-mobile) - nothing affected, my smart
phone (sprint) - nothing affected and work iPad (verizon). The iPad has the
headers injected for http only and only when using the 3g/lte service. If I
use wifi nothing gets injected, if I use https nothing gets injected.

This makes sense, because if it were messing with https then you'd
essentially be breaking the Internet. You'd get warnings and the site
verification badges would break.
