A bit of a networking novice but the MAC address is retained in the switch (Layer2) and theoretically should never make it past the switch. Most home modems are switch/routers or Level 3 switches. The switch ties the MAC address to an IP address in the switch, and only sends out the IP address in the packet. Someone more knowledgeable can correct me if wrong.
I'm guessing they don't allow a VPN to be used when creating a new account.
To test the MAC address theory, you could download a virtual machine software like Hyper-V and spin up a new machine to dummy out the MAC address through the switch/router.
