Well, I tell linux to the isp and those linux guys return back to me,
even if it takes more than 24 hours. BUT, when dealing with stupid hot
service, I learned I have to lie in order to get the service I want.
I don't do my internet (nor TV, or Telephony, especially after they sent
a goon to threaten lawsuit against me if I don't become a subscriber -
ordered Yes that very same day) through Hot. However, I found that
saying "Linux", and if the support technician stumbles tell him "just
assume it's windows" usually works.
My GF, back at the time when we were not living together, actually had
an ADSL technician over the phone say that he didn't think it's possible
to connect the USB junk modem she had through Linux. Her reply was
mostly "I don't know - my BF did it, but obviously it's possible".
So, yes, tell them "Linux", and then deal with it as it comes.

Footnote:
Not every error is up to infra. Today I had a case of very slow
downloads + a message from some anti-virus replacing a sourceforge site,
saying my computer may be at risk. While I was trying to set up
wireshark to try and prove that it was the wire that was changing the
traffic, I found out that my wireless connected, by mistake, to the
neighbors. I reattached it to my own connection, and all the problems
went away. I don't even know what gateway setup could have caused it.
