maxmind is the company that does it for speedtest.netSo if you've ever wondered why your IP blocks still show up as coming from your upstream and not you, well, that's why.

But Google thinks he's in France. We've checked for various possibilities of VPNs and proxies and such, and it's pretty clear that the Goog's geolocation for addresses around 99.106.185.0/24 is screwed up. Bing and other services correctly find him in Alabama. Poking around I see lots of advice about how to use Google's geolocation data, but nothing on how to update it. Anyone know the secret?
