It's a basic principle of a free market that you cannot force someone to provide service. If Netflix wants to ban certain IP ranges at random, they're allowed to do that and the only recourse is whining.
Customers in those random IP ranges who are paying for the service would beg to differ. They're paying for a service which Netflix intentionally is refusing to provide, based on erroneous data from a third party hired by Netflix. Part of the problem is that the term "IP address" was chosen instead of "IP number" or "IP identifier". It leads to the false assumption that an "address" relates to a physical location. -- Jay Hennigan - jay@west.net Network Engineering - CCIE #7880 503 897-8550 - WB6RDV
