An Internet Service Provider is an Internet Service Provider regardless of the type, bandwidth, or technology of the pipe provided, regardless of the number of IP addresses, and regardless of whether the hosts on their networks are primarily eyeballs (typical consumer at the end of a DSL, cable, or other dynamically assigned single IP address (in IPv4) connection) or content providers.  A hosting provider will have its own ISP; our ISP's here do both hosting and eyeballs.  Yeah, a single ISP can have co-lo cages, large transit and peering customers with multiple /24's each, as well as a consumer-grade dynamically-provisioned single-IP-per-customer eyeball net.

No ISP is entirely an eyeball network (in NANOG list terminology).

But this thread is getting entirely out of hand.
