In which case, I doubt if your IP is listed in the DUL at all.
[checking ...]
mjollnir:~ nslookup -sil 51.18.112.195.dialups.mail-abuse.org
Server: 10.0.3.1
Address: 10.0.3.1#53
** server can't find 51.18.112.195.dialups.mail-abuse.org.: NXDOMAIN
Not listed, as you see.

Two or three reasons -
1. ISP has a fatter pipe to the 'net
2. ISP has got more powerful machines (likely) - ideally running 24*7, with
backups, etc.
3. You are anyway paying them - and part of the cost goes towards the right
to use their smtp server.
So I dont see the reason why you needn't use it :)
