That sounds extremely unlikely.  It is possible that your router and
their modem have the same (conflicting) network.  Your router should
NAT.  Their device shouldn't be able to tell that all the traffic
isn't coming from that router.  They shouldn't be able to see any of
the hosts on your LAN.

After two entire days of conversing with various “techs” it became apparent my issue was in using a router to feed the lan machines to the modem. Hooking a computer directly to the modem gave that one machine access. It appears Frontier wants all of the local devices to connect to their router/modem. Has anyone else noticed this - and can I get out of this fix?
