I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with that statement.
I use NoCharge.com for dial up service....I and a friend with cable connection compared our fire wall logs and I had double the number of attacks he did.
NoCharge is a free service that doesn't care who you are or what you do....consequently I think computers in their range of IP's are scanned more often because it's safer to scan them then somebody paying an ISP.

Isn't NetZero a similar service.
