Doesn't Hulu (et al) have an obligation to provide service to their 
paying customers?

Does this obligation extend to providing service independent of the 
carrier that paying customers uses?

Or if Hulu choose to exclude known problem carriers (i.e. VPN providers) 
don't they have an obligation to confirm that their exclusions are 
accurate?  Further, to correct problems if their data is shown to be 
inaccurate?

It's not a law, but it is a service agreement between Hulu and their 
customers.
