Poll: Let these sites guess your location based on IP

[n7]

I tried with both my ISPs.

Telus DSL
http://www.ip2location.com/ - correct
http://www.maxmind.com/app/locate_my_ip - incorrect town (not really even close)

Shaw Cable
Both correct.

 

[EmperorIQ]

you should have an option for both right and an option for both wrong.

 

[Bill Brasky]

Both were correct.

 

[lithium726]

both were right, but im on a college campus... kinda hard to misplace.

 

[imported_Solace666]

 

[imported_Solace666]

both correct

 

[HomeAppraiser]

1st: You're located in (US) UNITED STATES

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Well it IS correct.

2nd had the right state at least, but wrong city.

 

[t3h l337 n3wb]

1st: Virginia
2nd: Dead on

 

[bluestrobe]

Both wrong but I was expecting it.

 

[ch33zw1z]

they both got my IP correctly, neither was even close w/ actual location. about 2000 miles away.

 

[50cent1228]

they suck..they were no way close to where i live

 

[jimmyjam]

Both were over 2,000 miles off. They both picked the exact same wrong location though.

 

[PrinceofWands]

Maxmind was right on, the other was two states (1200 miles) off.

 

[slayer202]

both got my correct college

 

[Ulukia]

1st: Close, wrong city.
2nd: Close, wrong city.

 

[CDC Mail Guy]

Ha ha ha...Both say that I'm in Redlands, Ca. over an hour and a half away from Blythe where I'm at! But that CAN have it's positive side also right? 🙂

 

[sonambulo]

da ferst wun

 

[ts3433]

Both of them give me the correct city.

 

[kevinthenerd]

Both say the exact city. (I actually live in downtown Orlando, not just the metro area.) Using the lat/long, however, ip2location is way out in the middle of nowhere east, while maxmind is too far south within the city area. Crow's flight distance, ip2location is 21.05 miles off, while maxmind is 3.71 miles off.

It might be a problem, though, that I just got this IP. I swithed from DSL to cable and just got it hooked up today.

 

[oCxTiTaN]

first wasn't even right state - Louisville, KY
second was very close, Decatur, IL

I live in Mt. Zion, IL...basically a suburb of Decatur

both were pretty much right on the nuts, the second one did guess my area code right though, so I voted for that one
(the 1st one didn't give an area code, maybe it has the feature in the full version)

 

[judasmachine]

hahaha neither, they both said i was in dallas which is something to the effect of 350+ miles away.

 

[eLiu]

Both gave me the same (correct) result.

 

[Screech]

Second was right; first one had my some place in virginia, whch is on the wrong side of the country
