You'd have to do some kind of traceroute and then look up the ips in the geoip database. The former is pretty slow in my experience, and the latter might be pretty noisy data.
Makes me wonder what Nexflix was doing way back when!
- kinos 9y agoWhen Netflix first started they only sent out DVDs via mail, and it was three DVDs at most at once. You paid a monthly fee, and you would mail back DVDs when you wanted a new one on your queue. It took them three or so years to get streaming set up, long after YouTube had made the idea of streaming video realistic. I believe VidX had also put a lot of effort into making high quality streaming realistic before YouTube supported it. This all occured before Netflix offered any streaming.
