Says I'm in Canada. Just says Canada. Nope. Wrong country.

Better, narrowed to the correct State, but wrong City.

Well, it did get the United States part right. Of course that's all it guessed, so I suppose it's accurate.

 

[Leros]

It got pretty close. It just chose the center of my town. About 5 miles away.

Wow, that's terrible. It puts me in Arkansas, but I live in Texas.

Me too. Anyone know some more of these? I think one got pretty close onetime.

Host name: XX-XXX-XX-XX.CITY.qwest.net
IP address: XX.XXX.XX.XX
Location: ... actually we haven't a clue.

They failed because it showed my metro area in the CITY part of the host name. FAIL!

This one got me down to the right town

 

[Vehemence]

Close city in the Host name, but they were only able to guess USA.

 

[Injury]

Mine said Vallejo, CA. I'm in Cincinnati.

I guess I'm another one living in nowhere:"Location: ... actually we haven't a clue."

 

[EGGO]

Location: UNITED STATES

Well...I guess I can't say they're wrong.

Haha, terrible. Thousands of miles off, and I just run plain old comcraptic!

 

[Pepsei]

Host name: c-67-172-192-xxx.hsd1.va.comcast.net.
IP address: 67.172.192.xxx
Location: Mesquite, TX, UNITED STATES


er.... it said right up there... VA... why am i in tx?

 

[Genx87]

Off by about 15 miles.

 

[SKORPI0]

My favorite, WhatisMyIPAddress - try this one.

Gets me 2 miles from my correct location. Enter your IP address and zoom in to the Geo-Location map and see if it accurate.

"Location: ... actually we haven't a clue."

Mine was close enough to pee on my leg. The fuckin' thing practically pointed to my house.

Can't get the one in the OP to even come up. The other one that was linked to put me in Wichita, KS. Not even close But then, my 'DNS suffix' comes up as ks.cox.net if I run something like ipconfig; maybe that's why it's off.

EDIT: finally got the first one to work, and got the 'don't have a clue' line.
