They do, but at least in theory, their business model is built on not selling the information.

Given how much ISPs charge I don't think they need to sell info to make money.

As garbage as most US ISP options are, I'd trust them long before I trust random VPN services. And I can be reasonably certain that my physical connection goes to Verizon. My virtual connection could be going anywhere and I just have to believe that it's to people who are who they say they are.

This is exactly the business model for some VPNs, particularly the free or very-cheap variety.
