Hi Benoit
What I am trying to do now, is set up an ISP bulk location feed to MaxMind and trying to persuade them to put a lock on our ip ranges so only we can provide locations for those and noone else. (Has anyone done this successfully?) I am also pressing them to disclose how the same ip ranges now repeatedly got put back to Germany shortly after we successfully submitted corrections. But all I get now is: * Please use the online correction form. * Thank you for submitting the correction, which we will push in our next update. Still waiting for a human reaction related to that specific issue.
In short, we had exactly the same issues with Maxmind. Not related to Telefony services but TV.
Maxmind randomly puts /29 into Germany or such and it is a bit pain to notice and to correct and to notice when it is corrected.
We never got any feedback from Maxmind besides what you describe. Probably they start talking to you if you send them Money.
What we think caused Maxmind to thing the range is no longer in Switzerland are customers doing Homeoffice in eg Germany and using a VPN tunnel to that IP. So That they see tracking information on sites from the same PC From the German and the Swiss IP and then think the Swiss IP also must be in Germany. But this is only a theory and not proven at all.
Regards
Matthias
