Data held by ISPs

I'm not an expert on this subject but I agree that the correct route would
be a SAR. I would be interested in seeing the detail in the logs. How
identifiable would they be in native form? I guess if its anything like
normal proxy logs they would only log the IP address and activity (poss
MAC) in which case they would need to then identify who add that IP address
and at what time from DHCP logs.

I wonder how hard the process of identification would be for the ISPs that
allow personally owned routers to connect to their services rather than the
ISP's branded boxes?

This might help....
