It has been about 99% accurate on that level when compared to AdWords and affiliate network geotargeting. I’ve never tried any of their paid services, just the free database :smile:

At that time, the free database was pretty inaccurate for my own needs. If you were just going for a user's country and maybe even state it was fine, but down to the city level it was pretty out of whack with reality. Again, this was back in November of '06 so there's a good chance the free database has shown some improvement with it's accuracy.
