They wouldn't have you MAC address, MAC addresses on packets are changed as the packet changes from router to router. The only way they would have your MAC is if the client software added it to the data payload for some strange reason. Your ISP would have the MAC of any device connected to the modem not behind a router; however that would be private information and your ISP should protect it as such.
