IP is directly assigned from the CMTS of said ISP
I wasn't referencing my occupation as a way of trying to trump you, but rather to let you know that I also am speaking from personal experience. You on the other hand are trying to do the exact thing you are condemning.
It is a fact that you cannot access the internet with a private 10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x, or 172.16.x.x IP address. Every single home modem/router has a public IP address assigned to it and uses NAT to translate your private IP address to that public IP address. If you want to see an example of that, you can open a command prompt window on your computer and enter "ipconfig" and view your IP address. Then go to Google and enter "What is my IP address?". It will display your public IP address, and that address will not match what you saw in the command prompt results.
This is not something that differs across ISPs. It is basic network principles.
