    Lucky you. You'll probably be able to download archived BBC TV shows from there website that checks to make sure viewers have a UK IP before allowing the programmes to be downloaded.

    and the flipside is that you have shítty uk ip address, which might screw up country affairs.

    cmyip.com probably consults the RIPE (european agency responsible for delgation of IPs) info for your IP block, which is publically accessible.

    When I was using my IBB connection those targetted porn ads used to say "There are women waiting to have sex tonight in TALLAGHT".

    Too F*cking right there are, and they'll be waiting a long time for a look in from me.

    It can be a bit of a balls for online gaming. I am with utv and get better pings on UK servers than on Irish servers. If I do a traceroute to an irish server the packets go all the way to the uk and then back to ireland again

    Just did a check out of curiosity, as I am with Last Mile.

    It says I'm in London, UK!

    It says I'm in Dublin, which is probably appropriate as it seems half of Dublin has moved to Mullingar...

    Gas, I'm with lastmile too and it says:

    My IP is 89.x.x.x
    My country is Ireland
    My city is Athlone
    Hide-IP-Soft.com

    Which is not too far wrong ..

    inetnum:      193.120.137.56 - 193.120.137.63
netname:      BSB-SAFETY
descr:        BSB Saftey

    Aww, they *actually* know where I am. Damn leased line! :D

    I find www.dnsstuff.com good for this kind of stuff - the "WHOIS lookup" will look up your IP address with RIPE records.

    That cmyip.com site doesn't work for me:
    My IP is 192.168.0.99
    My country is
    My city is
    God knows how it got my LAN address! O_o
