Wheres the IPv4 address from? Because if it's AWS, that's gonna be rather useless.

We lease IPv4 /24 and IPv6 /48 blocks from a reputable IP address broker, check it against spam blacklists, and finally announce the clean IP addresses at a datacenter of our choice. We are not tied down to any hosting company. We tested a datacenter failover scenario and switched the BGP route from Chicago to Toronto, while a YouTube video was playing, and it didn't even stutter!
Do streaming services work? Anyway to make the IP appear residential?
google 'residential proxies for sale' if you really want to do this, the big content sources are getting pretty good at distinguishing between last mile ISP blocks of dhcp customers and IP blocks that are announced in a colocation/datacenter environment.
For most services that distinguish between residential and commercial IPs, your traffic is outbound so CGNAT shouldn't be much of a problem to route normally.
Netflix works with just the "global" range. Their business vs. residential classification accuracy is probably near perfect.
The whois for the ip's in the screenshot say they are reassigned from OVH, and geolocate to Quebec.
