Your IP probably got on a list of Bad People. Tech companies share a list of bad ips and they tend to silently block. The last thing they want to do is provide a failure feedback loop the bad guys can use to map their fraud and abuse detection system.
Is your Wi-Fi password nontrivial? Are you using WPA?
Lock down your Wi-Fi and call your ISP to ask that they expire your dhcp lease or assign you a new static IP. (If that’s not possible switch isps. For example if you have ATT fiber you can switch to Sonic. The fiber is the same but the service is actually handled differently)
Less likely but still worth considering:
Do do you reuse passwords? If you reuse passwords it’s possible someone is doing some fraud on your behalf. Check haveibeenpwned to see if a email address associated with your shared password has been leaked.
If you don’t already start using a password manager and use unique, nontrivial passwords for everything.
