Q: How accurate are your IP2location databases?
A:
The IP-Country database has over 99% in level of accuracy, which is higher than any of our competitors. The small number of inaccuracy is due to dynamic IP address allocation by large ISPs such as AOL and MSN TV. Because AOL uses a network that routes all of the company's Internet traffic through Reston, Virginia. All IP-based geo-location services, including IP2Location, are unable to determine the state and city for people who dial into the AOL network.
