This is about Earthlink doing the same thing a couple years ago, and
is worth reading.  They're not breaking RFPs:

   "There's no contractual obligation for ISPs not to change
   content and inject ads," Kaminsky notes.

Still talking about Earthlink (not Rogers, but I'd say the same applies):

   DNS expert Paul Vixie, who is the president  of the
   nonprofit Internet Systems Consortium, says the
   problem Kaminisky found isn't with the core internet
   protocols, which he could fix, but instead is a
   "problem exacerbated by inappropriate
   monetization of certain DNS features."

The article is worth reading.
