Only problem is, if I was to buy their services, they would start
telling everyone I use their service and not mine.
Having something like this is helpful for a number of reasons. There's
the ones you mentioned (just being familiar with the competition), plus
the more obscure benefits. Suppose some really key router on your
network completely dies, and you need to figure out how to repair or
replace it. Obviously, since this hardware is dead, you can't use your
own service. Having a true backup connection to the Internet does come
in handy from time to time.
Also, chances are you can't provide service to everyone that calls your
office who wants it. If I can't help someone, and I know I won't be able
to in the reasonable future (say, in the next couple years), I've got no
problem explaining what their other options are, and it's easier to do
that if you know what's out there.
