If my ISP told me that, I wouldn't believe another thing they had to say.
BGPv4
supports CIDR and Classful addressing. It will advertise whatever address
range
you tell it to, with whatever mask you provide. Perhaps the ISP was really
talking about their own policies, with regard to address space that they
provide
their customers. They certainly weren't referring to any limitations of BGP.
