Does TikTok ban entire subnets?

I think TikTok banned all the IPs from the nearby cell tower because I spammed too much. If I go to another place in the city I have no issues, it’s just the 256 IPs I get from my home cell tower (they only use one subnet here because of small pop). Is my suspicion correct?

Yes, your suspicious is correct ;)
They do it sometimes in small cities/villages
 
Could be something temporarely maybe thinking kind of a bot attack just banning and denying access to all IPs means people not accessing their services, is posible but more like a blacklisted or suspicious list but temporarely not definitive but moving is better since next time they will get you faster.
 
TikTok may have blocked an entire subnet if there is too much spam activity from the same IP range. This often happens with mobile IPs that have low user counts in the area. Try switching to a VPN, proxy, or moving to a different region to test.
 
Sounds like you're right. TikTok can easily block an entire subnet, especially if there was heavy spam coming from it. If everything works fine in another part of the city, then your current tower is probably blacklisted. This often happens with mobile carriers that have a small pool of IPs using a single subnet. Try testing with a different SIM or switch to Wi-Fi or a proxy — that should give you a clear answer.
 
Yeah, totally, TikTok can totally block or restrict internet addresses (called IP subnets). It's not usually about singling out your home internet, but more like a big net they cast to catch widespread bad stuff.
