With the different things ISP's are doing, including "Deep Packet 
Inspection" and ad insertion, anything is possible.  Search and there 
are a few sites that you can use to check your connection for these 
factors.  I don't have links handy.  Search for detecting Deep Packet 
Inspection or something on that line.

Bell Canada is known to do this on their networks.

Konqueror may be showing the problem.
