Nope,

Some dial-up ISPS in canada log all their traffic but aside from that, I
havn't seen any US ISPs implement it.

It requires massive hardware, and a lot of storage. They may record
UDP/ICMP packets, but, would be nearly impossible without very very
expensive computing power to log TCP traffic, and then later retreive it.

They port scan you to find out what your running, unless you deny their IP
then that makes their scanners think the IP is dead if it doesnt
cross-refrence it with a active list.
