The difference is that my ISP isn't pretending to be free. It can use free
software as much as it wants to, but its services doesn't become instantly
free.
Thus the main difference is that I can use non-free softwares or services
when I want and where I want, that's my freedom. But a software can't
pretend to be free (as in freedom) if it has non-free parts in it that can't
be removed by the user because eventually the user don't have the choice.
