If you have residential Internet service, I'd estimate the chances of 
either to be 0%. This kind of thing is generally only provided to 
business accounts.

What's strange, though, is that they don't have some kind of generic 
reverse DNS for the address. Like my Comcast IP has reverse DNS that 
resolves to c-71-192-114-133.hsd1.ma.comcast.net.
