newbie here, my internet provider identification tool shows wrong ISP, how to improve accuracy?
hey everyone, just launched our 'What is My ISP?' tool and it's mostly working which is cool for a newbie like me.
but sometimes the internet service identification is way off for users, showing incorrect ISPs or even completely wrong details, it's kinda frustratin'.
what's the best way to make the ISP lookup more accurate, especially for mobile or VPN users? help a brother out please...

Answered 2 days agoAh, okay. So based on what you said, it's not just about the IP database but really how it cross-references ASN and WHOIS data, that makes a lot more sense now why my simple mappings were failing.
