You are right though, large multinational companies mess things up with their own networks and proxies that span multiple countries. We can break AOL down, though i'm not sure 100% off the top of my head which countries the data covers for AOL right now. I'm fairly sure it separated UK, USA, Canada, Germany and Japan AOL ips (there were more but i cant remember).

In all, we estimate the data to be 95% accurate ip->country.

If anyone reading is on AOL (a webmaster on AOL ), click on over to http://www.ip-sorter.com/demos/test.php see what it says.

DOH!

That is very interesting. 95% accuracy is way better then I thought you could do. Can you break it down by province?
Nice work, this is interesting....oh the possibilities.
