Add Akamai to that list of ASNs and you cover everything. I did that experiment a couple of years ago and my Apple devices went unresponsive unless I disconnected them from the Internet entirely.
The rabbit hole goes as far as locking yourself out of many government services. If you’re a Canadian, it means not being able to travel without submitting to corporate privacy policies and ToS (ArriveCan apps/website).

- foobiekr 4y agoYeah, there are a lot of synchronous network calls in many applications. I ran out mobile bandwidth recently and have spent the last week in AT&T's penalty box and it's amazing what broke. For example, Audible's app goes to complete hell in this state when you launch it; you can bypass the hang by clicking library but it would be content to mostly just sit there.
- Rebelgecko 4y agoI found a fun issue with the Apple Music app- if you're connected to wifi but NOT connected to the internet, it takes 60 seconds for the app to respond when you try to play something or change tracks.
- Andrex 4y agoDNS issues are the worst. Everything in your stack reports having a "connection" but everything takes 60 seconds to not even load.
