The free GeoIP databases are deliberately crippled with inaccuracies. Their business model is to sell you an upgrade to the good information.

- axod 18y agoI've been using it for about 9 years. If all you need is country resolution, it seems pretty much spot on, and very useful. I haven't seen anything that is all that accurate beyond that. Most geo location (for the UK anyway), pegs people at the ISPs head quarters, rather than their actual location. Which isn't really very useful.
