VPN site gets ISP wrong - how?

Someone I know was looking for a VPN service and browsed a few sites. They website used the classic 'Here is your IP, Location and ISP' to show that the user is at risk, however they got the ISP (and maybe IP?) wrong.

Here is the site that showed it: https://www.cyberghostvpn.com/en_GB/

How do websites like this gather this information and how could it be wrong?

If someone was snooping on their PC, what affect would this have?

The 'ISP' shown was rather worrying.

Thanks.
