Actually, that is pretty common.  I remember the last hacker that got in 
to our school was coming from about 20 other machines at various times.  
INCLUDING a linux box at Nasa's jet propulsion labratory.  After a lot of 
headaches, we found taht most people like to either ignore hackers, or 
else are hackers themselves helping some friends along.  I wouldn't be 
suprised if some tech kid is using one of that isp's machines for warez 
and porn and whatnot and letting hackers go through because he doesn't 
want to get caught.  Or somethign along those lines.
