Hi Don,
I don’t think anybody really knows what you’re talking about. You’ve quoted a
prefix claiming it’s in Christchurch. Whois and routing I can see shows it’s
allocated to GPLHost and is advertised by their ASN (45887). Everything points
toward Singapore location.
It looks to me like GPLHo
A traceroute to an address in that /24 from Auckland ends thus:
817 ms15 ms16 ms v-cr1-alb.cr3.wlg.dtsanz.com [202.174.183.234]
920 ms21 ms23 ms 202.68.88.217
1022 ms21 ms23 ms 103.68.122.xxx
so it is indeed ~180 ms closer than Singapore. Just shows how
It's not that there is no feasible way for an operator to determine it's an NZ
prefix - it's certainly determinable via existing means and the big players
already do it with these tests (such as latency) built directly into their web
apps.
It's merely a side effect of Mediaworks using g a poor
IMO if you're operating an ISP/RSP in New Zealand and you want your
customers to access NZ based GeoIP locked services then the onus is on
you to ensure the relevant providers whitelist your prefixes. Maxmind
and other GeoDBs are only as accurate as the data they're fed
I've had to contact
Whois shows it’s a Singapore hosting company.
Best to discuss with them.

Hi Don,
If you don't "own" the IP's your options are likely limited or none. You
could try and contact the GeoIP DB's like Maxmind but chances are they
will not accede.
If, on the other hand, you have your own IP's or are in a position to
join APNIC and obtain these - it's quite simple and j

I think if you want the geolocation to be accurate, you should make
sure your APNIC data is correct. You should also contact MaxMind who
operate the most popular IP geolocation service. I don’t know what
evidence they will require, but it may be more than you’re currently
offering with the APNIC
same). It’s probably more straightforward if you own
the addresses – so assuming you don’t, maybe you should ask whoever does to
resolve it.
