Re: Incorrect GeoIP filtering of 185.83.72.0/22

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 support () 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.
