The only reason I can think why the DSL company would want to do this
is if they are managing e-mail, or otherwise splitting services and
want to facilitate DNS management. Otherwise, there is no reason for
them to need the domain (though it could be a miscommunication, due to
poor support training, or money-grubbing scheme).
In the first case, they are probably redirecting to you. In any of
the latter, they probably just pocketed the money and left the DNS the
same. You can find out some of this by following William Tasso's
advice by doing nslookup, traceroute the domain, whois, etc.
In any event, they will probably need confirmation from their client
to make any changes.
