They over-promise.

One can only identify the entity to which a block of IP Addresses is assigned. Even if the subscriber has a static IP Address assigned to them, such information is private.

So, if the visitor is using a machine that belongs to a network operated by a company large enough to own their own block of IP Addresses, then said company can be identified. Beyond that, unless you've some black op connections, you're out of luck.
