Great point.
After looking up 29 of the IP addresses, it seems 28 of them (including all the overlapping IP addresses) are T-Mobile.
Among the 29 I checked, there is 1 IP address with a different hostname (Verizon). This address is unique and not shared with any other users.
Presumably all these forum members based in New York City are all also T-Mobile customers there, it seems?

We do, but it's configured to pass the user's origin IP to our site, rather than the CDN's IPs.
- ev1 6y agoGeo IP for Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile are close to worthless; they effectively allocate from a nationwide pool. If not more, hundreds of thousands of users share a single IP on T-Mobile, if you are talking about IPv4. They stopped handing out IPv4 a while ago. It's all v6 + CGNAT. If it's web traffic and not arbitrary TCP TLS traffic, likely even more users share it as they cache web and run it through shared proxies.
