An Internet Service Provider is an Internet Service Provider regardless of the 
type, bandwidth, or technology of the pipe provided, regardless of the number 
of IP addresses, and regardless of whether the hosts on their networks are 
primarily eyeballs (typical consumer at the end of a DSL, cable, or other 
dynamically assigned single IP address (in IPv4) connection) or content 
providers.  A hosting provider will have its own ISP; our ISP's here do both 
hosting and eyeballs.  Yeah, a single ISP can have co-lo cages, large transit 
and peering customers with multiple /24's each, as well as a consumer-grade 
dynamically-provisioned single-IP-per-customer eyeball net.

No ISP is entirely an eyeball network (in NANOG list terminology).

But this thread is getting entirely out of hand.
