Legions of NANOG:
Here's an interesting problem.
My customers are running speedtests from Ookla's speedtest.net site. The default site is in Kansas and not in Texas where we receive our internet connection.
Questions:
1. How do I go about viewing the geo-coded data that accompanies my IP addresses? This is obviously a database that is kept for geo-coding purposes. The whois info for the block in question traces back to a superblock formerly owned by PSINet, Inc and has a Washington, DC address. I conclude that the geo-coding used by speedtest.net is not from the whois database.
2. If I pestered my carrier to SWIP the IP address block to me (as they should have?) would that help me solve my problem?
3. Is there anything else I need to be thinking of that would help me have better control of my geo-coding info? Are there third-party self sign up/volunteer database which house geo-coding info?
Thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
