The moment they see their ONT is registering only 1 device (the router) it's clear everything is being routed via that.
I have never not had a router natted behind my modem. They can see the amount of packets and data I use over the ISP, but that's about it. On top of that my LANs and VLANs are all VPNd through NordVPN before anything hits the WAN and all DNS traffic goes though my Adguard Home and Quad9 as well, so there's that.
Why do you trust NordVPN more than your ISP ? Is your ISP known to be especially bad ?
I trust any company that's not in my country more than any local company. Or I should say, I distrust local companies more.
How do they know that it isn't just a single device network?
They might be able to see if the data indicates the network has been though NAT (network address translation) twice, but that would look just like someone who has plugged their own wifi box into the modem
Highly unlikely when you have hundreds of gigs passing through daily.
But how would they prove that? I have high doubt. Also what benefit would it give them? It seems like a lot of work and uncertainty for little reward.
I can't answer that. I guess you would need to be in their place to understand that backwards way of thinking.
