Internet providers can track your internet browsing history and your internet provider most likely does keep logs of your browsing and download history for at least a year or two at a time in case you do something illegal and the police want to see your browsing history.

However although your internet history can be tracked by your internet provider they really don't look at your internet history no do they really care about your internet history unless you're doing something such as downloading a lot of data in a short amount of time which might catch their attention about you downloading something illegal.

Or if you violate their Terms of Service by downloading too much data then they will likely take a look but other than that your internet provider doesn't have the manpower nor do they want to spend the money for people to sit there and track your internet history as it would not be profitable for them to do so.

So unless you're doing something illegal and the police want to see your internet history then your internet provider is not looking at your browsing history through their services.

As long as you're not doing anything illegal that could catch the polices attention and are paying the bills then they don't really care.
