It may be that. I get my IPv4 from a data center. They are my upstream provider. The blocks are SWIPed to my company though.
I had to submit information to Hulu, Vudu, ABC.com and a few others a year ago because suddenly they all had me on some unknown blacklist at the same time. All of those providers have now white-listed my blocks and I no longer have issues (except maybe Vudu, who were really hard to get that done).

So they have wrongly allocated or listed my blocks as proxy/VPN. Doesn’t that break net neutrality for me? Not that the FCC is going to do anything about it. I just got off the phone. They asked me to email them my ASN, upstream and details. Hopefully they pull their heads out and get this working. Not like I can request a IPv4 block directly from ARIN. I DID that and they denied saying they have no more. So I’m stuck without their help.

My personal Netflix, on the same public IP block, seems to still work. But several of my customers are now calling in saying their Netflix is VPN, Proxy or using an Unblocker. Netflix is denying any sort of fix or solution for these customers, blaming it on the ISP. I'm sick of this crap. The customers don't care, they will just drop the ISP and get another, probably with IP blocks that aren't 'blacklisted' as VPN, or going through a datacenter. I had the same problem with Hulu, Vudu, ABC.com Disney.com and several others. Fortunately, all of those companies, except Vudu, fixed my problem by whitelisting my IPs. Vudu took a long time but I think I finally got a hold of the correct team of engineers and they fixed it. On the phone now with Netflix rep and one of her first questions was, "What is a public IP block?" :(
