It's been a looong time since I worked in that field, and I might be talking out of my ass now, but it seems possible to me that sites like Home Depot are only looking at where the traffic they're receiving got onto the backbone. That would make sense in terms of their assuming that everyone using a given ISP is where that ISP's NOC is.
