I am analyzing the customer behavior onsite as I think that will tell the tale as to whether I am better off without this IP range or not. One curious thing is that around the middle of the month I blocked a number of popular prepaid gift cards that were being abused on my PPS Programs, and about that time joins from this range almost completely stopped. But that could still be a coincidence. A cel phone provider could have changed the way they handled mobile internet traffic for example.

Could it be Wi-Fi hot spots? It's common that telecoms use "push to Wi-Fi" if you are near a hotspot to reduce the load on the mobile networks.
