In theory yes, in reality, no. Every time we've moved IP's on servers
I'm involved with there are a handful of business and schools that take
a long time to update their DNS. 48-72 hours gets it changed at most
places but servers can be configured to do updates much less frequently
and ignore the TTL setting.

Wouldn't this depend entirely on the TTL in the zone definition?  IF the

ISP says it's 3 hours, maybe it's because they've got the TTL set that 
low?
