Not more than you all by yourself. But if it´s not $evil_provider but
simply $attackers_provider it usually helps. AOL and @home are other
matters, though.
I have experienced enough cases where complaints I sent from my
home-address were completely ignored, but when sent from my
work-address (or, to cut matters short, <Abuse@KPNQwest.at>, which I´m
also part of) attention was given almost immediately.
