RE: Hulu thinks all my IP addresses are "business class", how to reach them?

We’ve had success contacting Hulu and having them mark the tiny range of applicable IPs as not being “cloud”.

This happened to us as well.  We've had probably over 100 requests over the last few years, but thankfully most of our 
customers are fine with just not purchasing Hulu.  We've only lost below 5 customers from this issue.

They would if it was possible to track you. Whenever I played DVD's or
BD's with my PS3/PS4, I sometimes hit issue because those boxes were
online, vs. my regular DVD player which wasn't.

Offline DVD tech. is old school.

Because tracking can be done with 2019 tech. due to VoD and its use of
the Internet, they will scream.
