I seem to be back on the long chain again, so far so good
Just installed the new update and reloading blockchain. I will post the results
2.1.7.1 is ready to go. Help->Check for Update, then let me know if you are still having issues. Thanks, again, everyone.

Now it doesn't even try to catch up - it's In Sync right after downloading the bootstrap. I will post a screenshot and a text file with the getpeerinfo. I am connecting from a cellular IP (random within the provider's range).
EDIT: will repeat the bootstrap download, just to be sure it got right.
EDIT2: Now it works! This time it did sync up to the current Explorer block height, and keeps on syncing. Will now go on to upgrade all wallets.
Thank you Steve!
Mine wont sync although it says in sync. Im missing about 20 blocks.
When I got back from the cellular IP to my regular LAN/WAN setup, syncing stopped altogether - it does say "In Sync" (with a new empty wallet) and would apparently start staking with a non-empty wallet. As per Steve, my regular IP may have been banned for up to 24 hours, but shouldn't it be trying to sync during the ban, instead of staying In Sync and staking at the wrong block height? This time I need to post a snapshot - back here in a few minutes.
EDIT: uploading snapshot and getpeerinfo.txt, will post links in next edit. In this case it synced up to the lowest (as of the connection time) block height of all current connections. Or may be it has been doing exactly so in my previous observations, too? In any case, it's not (even trying to) syncing to the highest current block height.
EDIT2:
