Could be Time Warner Cable, Verizon, DirecTV, or NY State Electric and Gas. Or all of them....

Heck I'd report them anyway. If you have the phone number from which they are calling you, then you can use »google.com or »anywho.com to do a reverse lookup and get the name of the calling company. You may not even need the name of the company either, only the number should suffice. Logically speaking, the ban on calling you should go into effect legally the second you signed up for the DNC. If the ban on calling you took effect only when the telemarketers updated their lists, then any telemarketer could just say "uh, we didn't update our list" and continue to illegally call people.

I thought there was some legal window the companies had before they had to get the update list, and adhere to it? Like quarterly?
