Hi Swinog
We (AS61174) have some problems with a newer ip range 145.14.208.0/20. Customers are complaining that they access the content (e.g. Teleboy, Swisscom TV, and many more) from Netherland and therefore the access is denied.
Can you check your filters and make sure that this range "belongs" to switzerland?
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me offlist

I don't think the network operators can do anyting. RIPE displays the network origin correctly.
I guess you need to contact the GeoIP database maintainers, so that they refresh their data. This, for example: https://geoiptool.com/en/?ip=145.14.208.0

Actually, the GeoIP maintainer (MaxMind) correctly lists it as Switzerland, see:
https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip2-precision-demo?ip=145.14.208.0
The free version of the GeoIP country database (http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2) is only updated once a month though, and I guess many services just use this bcz they can live with the occasional mismatch or are not aware that there's a licensed version with higher accuracy. And there's a chance that some don't even bother to update their local database anyway.
Cheers, Matthias

That's because from what I can see, until February, that prefix had been announced for about a year from Verizon Nederland.

It's not that simple. For example, I see that MaxMind reports the prefix as being 100% in Dübendorf (https://stat.ripe.net/widget/geoloc#w.resource=145.14.208.0%2F20), but the situation might be different for other Geolocation providers. I see that you have a series of more specific objects in the RIPE database. What I can suggest, in order to help the other providers to pick up the new location is to add a geoloc: attribute to all of them. This would _help_ but won't completely fix the situation. As they already suggested, try to go and force the update on all the relevant GeoIP databases.
Ciao!
