I would expect all sorts of legal difficulties in having ISPs  
inserting themselves into the cleartext path of the customer-to-bank  
connection.

It's their network, you're using their computer to do work for them.  
They don't need your consent in order to intercept mail, MitM your  
https connections, or any other such activity.

Do not ever access your internet banking from the office computer if  
they do https proxying!
