I'm the OP.

We do not do CGNAT or any sort of proxying. It is straight up one
public IP per access customer, with their NAT'd DSL router taking the
public IP. Nor do we offer any sort of VPN services. Just because of
our past history, all access customers are static IPs, so many of them
have had the same IP for over a decade (ie. highly unlikely that I have
a bad apple hopping a dynamic pool and ruining it for all). 

Furthermore, we have 3 disjoint ARIN PIR blocks. All three of them are
blocked across the whole range. So, somebody at Hulu took a look
at our AS, and blocked all we announce.
