We're having a heck of a time with this, customers are posting all
over social media about it etc.
The company who does their ip classification is Neustar and we have
been talking to them.
In our case, it is a /17 that moved from Germany to us in the UK after a purchase a year ago.

If we look up the block in question on Neustar's website, it correctly geolocates to the UK - and they correctly fetch the ISP information from RIPE. This has been the case for ages (and I don't think Neustar has ever shown it incorrect after we notified them - along with other geoloc companies - that it was now UK-based).

So if Disney+ are using Neustar, they are caching the results somehow or applying their own secret sauce that gets it wrong.
