which is more accurate for you ?? I'm trying to determine which database is more accurate as I have heard both stories ...

hopefully this helps clear things up for other people considering these products

I've included links below that will show you the online demo of the product determining your city

I've always felt ip2location was generally more accurate.

Id rather use ip2location because of the pricing ... unfortunately maxmind got my city correct and ip2location didnt ......

i know some of the top adult dating sites use maxmind .. but haven't heard of as many people using ip2location .... hoping to see some good results for them tho

I thought ip2location used the maxmind DB

They both got my location wrong at the office. I am in Natick and it says Belmont and Holliston. Verizon FIOS

When I am home in Boston both get it correct. Comcast Cable

and how do IP2Location's perl and php modules compare to mod_geoip +perl or php?

We have been evaluating both products for quite some times and found that IP2Location is more.

accurate

alamak,

Here are your posts that you made on four different threads within 20 minutes.

"We are using IP2Location and it is very good."
"We are using IP2Location .NET and COM DLL and pretty accurate so far."
"IP2Location is generally better than Max in most of our cases."

I found out about you through this other thread: forums.ev1servers.net/showthread.php?t=17579
