Geo location servers - issues with incorrect IP location

Hi

 

Any idea how I can contact someone to update the IP Geo Database sky use, I have a UK IP being identified as none UK - unable to access various parts of Sky TV service.

 

Tried to contact with no joy yet as no one understands the issue.

 

Thanks

Martin

ZEN - they have said it is a new IP range moved to the UK from the USA however it has been re-registered as UK and providers of location services notified. All checks I can do are returning UK IP, even if I knew what servcie they used fr look up maybe able correct on that end.

 

Thanks

I have the same issue with Yayzi.

 

The issue is with whoever Sky use are not updating the location data of the IP address. 4/5 IP location services have it down as the UK.  But whoever sjy use don;t.

 

Yayzi have done their bit by advising everyone so its down to Skys provider

I've escalated this to Sky and they should be in touch with you soon about it.
