Unless you have a Superhub, these are locked down devices no way to change the firmware, you have to buy a secondary device to do this. ISPs are logging everything but I've never experienced anything like what OP has unless I'm not looking deep enough but then again I am extremely lazy.

Absolutely.
That's why I've never purchased a Router (with my Internet bundle) from my ISP. It may be unlikely, but you never know whether a backdoor has been planted Into the device to monitor activity.

I believe there may well be a backdoor on the Superhubs due to the fact that there's SSH & Telnet (Filtered) on the router but there's no way to open the port so why does this need to even be on the router you might ask, according to Virgin media this is used by the "Service Technicians" incase of any problems.
To me that suggests a way in for anyone who wants to take look.
Code:
PORT STATE SERVICE REASON
22/tcp filtered ssh no-response
23/tcp filtered telnet no-response
53/tcp open domain syn-ack
80/tcp open http syn-ackRE: I think my ISP might be spying on me, but not in the normal ways? Idk come see. - mothered - 09-01-2017

I've yet to experience a service technician having to tunnel their way Into my AP to diagnose an Issue.
SSH on a Router "embedded" by the manufacturer Is a cause for concern.

I've been trying to find a way to open the port to take a look inside the router but alas I believe it may require a hardware to do so, I don't really want to open it up and fuck it up.

I'd be much the same If I were In your position. The Last thing you need, Is to completely kill your main gateway of connectivity.
If only you had (an exact) secondary device to play around with. The findings would be very Interesting.

I may purchase a cheap second hand one and begin messing with it at some point, hopefully should be able to dump everything.
