My company recently acquired an IPv4 block. I don't know much about other than it hasn't been advertised/used on the global Internet in awhile. This is apparently resulting in an issue where all end-users on this block are complaining that they can't reach certain video on demand websites (connection refused in a browser). We ruled out the usual network level stuff and finally reached out to one of the sites in question. They tell us our "IP's are bad" and referred us to their 3rd party 'IP-address Reputation' service who refuses to help unless we pay for their services. When we declined, our block's 'reputation' on their site sank even further.
Is there some trick resolving this sort of thing, or are these mafia-type tactics an accepted practice?
