“Identifiers of a related account” can be a username, or a full name, or a name and an address or somesuch (aka “any other service or device identifier known to the provider that uniquely identifies the source of the communication.”)

It can’t be “the IP address and port number allocated to the subscriber or device connected to the internet…” because you’re an ISP, you don’t allocate port numbers, that’s the job of the applications running on the users’ devices.

How on earth are you harvesting port numbers?
