Ahh, good to know that my regular ISP got banned for something I have no clue about. Can't even read the blog.

Same here but I'm using a ssh based proxy to avoid having my local ISP data mine my web traffic. Definitely not going to turn it off either to read a blog.

I really wish admins banned based on actual behavior instead of IP address != residential/mobile.

I get that sort of stuff quite a lot - its because my workplace uses a proxy to connect to the intranet, and traffic routed by that proxy is often blocked (zscaler)
I use a medium sized Australian ISP and got the same, maybe they just have whole regions blocked...?
Probably CGNAT, "Carrier-Grade NAT": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT

Huge, huge numbers of machines behind a single external IP mean that your internet access carries all their reputation by proxy. Since switching off Comcast to a smaller fiber company that uses CGNAT I've seen somewhat more Cloudflare challenges.

I'm also blocked, but I'm in the UK use a fairly niche and small ISP (uno.uk)
I got that at first but it worked after a refresh. So it doesn't look like an actual ban.
