Agreed, I’ve seen this before across wider boundaries. Even /22s.

We get a /29 from our upstream provider that we CGNAT (yeah I know, working on implementing IPV6) to all of our customers at 1 particular site. No other sites have any issues. We had our upstream provider allocate us a new IP block from a different subnet which fixed the issue for a while but now it's back. The state and town are correct but the country states China. This is having issues with Speedtests, NetFlix and others. The upstream is claiming that we are purposely using a proxy or VPN to china which causes this. We have checked all our configurations and even replaced all hardware in case something was hacked. Any ideas?
