Adam,

ip2location.com has that IP block listed as "(DCH) Data Center/Web 
Hosting/Transit” which we’ve seen cause issues for residential users in the 
past, most notably on Cogent IP space.

We worked with supp...@ip2location.com to have the address block re-analyzed 
and updated to "(ISP) Fixed Line ISP” which resolved many of the issues users 
had accessing various streaming CDN services.

HTH
