I found "Maxstack" also was wrong. So, we SWIP'd back in August, is this typical for them to be so wrong for so long? I have folks complaining about being geoblocked to BBC as well... :( On Wed, Oct 8, 2025 at 6:37 AM Stephen Griffin <pktslngr@gmail.com> wrote:
Is odd that they still do, we SWIP'd a while ago, but I filled out the form. Will see what happens.

Maybe they happen to be using ipapi?
Only mentioning it because that looks like the only major geoop db that still lists that block as Boston.

So, I have a site in London. We recently changed from PA space to PI space. I SWIP'd the new space 155.33.8.0/23 to reflect our London location.
However, on-site support staff are claiming that Apple Support shows them in Boston in the US (our headquarters) without an option to pick the UK, and are demanding that we go back to PA space, which is both impractical and a bad technical option.
I have attempted to get them to log a ticket with Apple in order to determine why they believe our London location is in the US, but am just getting back "you broke it, fix!" type responses.
So, does anyone have experience with Apple's geolocation? Is accurate information on the network whois insufficient? Is it because the ASN shows the US (which would likely be incredibly inaccurate and somewhat difficult to change, I think)?
I suggested maybe it was a cookie or related to the service contract or something, but those have been summarily rejected, so I am somewhat running out of ideas.
