That's not exactly how it works. There is no specific core, all web traffic doesn't go through one centralized location; it gets routed through the most direct route on each if these routers' routing tables
Also, I'm pretty sure they can't do shit about encapsulated data, such as VPN traffic.
sure, large encrypted data streams, in 5GB increments are impossible to detect
There are a lot of industries where huge amount of data is moved all the time (health data, VMs, anything actually). Even small startups can do that and it's cheaper than ever.
Heck a tiny regional bank I worked at with less than 2 dozen locations was constantly flinging data between its Primary and DR datacenters, and they were too small for any dedicated fiber so that was just over standard ISPs (with some locations technically on residential plans because the ISPs didn't offer any better options than that in the small towns the bank supported)
