Thinking TCP/IP = IP is also a bit of a faux pas. No fair changing the terms I used out from underneath me and then complaining.
Further... again, go check your contract for your home provider. I'm quite confident it doesn't promise to "serve IP packets", let alone making any promise whatsoever to serve them without modification. Don't lose sight of the context here... pedanting about what protocol is in use isn't going to change the fact that none of them are probably mentioned in your contract.
