even if an ISP doesn't track MAC addresses for security and internet connection authorization it doesn't mean they don't have access for this info and don't log it.
"The MAC address is an important element of computer networking. MAC addresses uniquely identify a computer (or a router) on the LAN. MAC is an essential component required for network protocols like TCP/IP to function."
They know about you bit more than you might realize. Its the same as your router may know/display MAC addresses of computers in your LAN.
