Quova, Maxmind, and others all return accurate results for everything of ours I have tested. Some of the IPs in question have been properly assigned or delegated to us for several years in whois. But yeah, thanks for the input... I actually hadn't checked Quova until now. Perhaps Google rolls their own...
I'll have to re-echo your experience, which doesn't bode well for our chances. The link below returns accurate information for me too. Our blocks have been in use for years and we have not experienced even a hint of geolocation related problems before. Direct peering would be our ideal solution to this problem, but Google doesn't appear to play in our smaller market.

I don't know what Google uses but any company using F5 equipment is using Quova geolocation services. You can request updates and check your circuit here:

The problem is that the F5 devices don't update the database files automatically, they need to be manually updated. Unless I get a specific request at my company I don't bother updating on a regular basis.
