Your ISP probably does, but there's no reason to believe that anyone
else will.
One possible reason is that their DNS server may have been configured
not to respond to pings. If you wish to test whether you can use their
DNS server, try using nslookup or dig. It only matters that it
responds to DNS requests; whether it responds to a ping is irrelevant.
