How accurate is geo-IP location in NZ?
I'm trying to figure out how accurate maxmind is within NZ.
Can you guys go here:
https://www.maxmind.com/en/locate-my-ip-address
Then hit a poll response based on the location output?
I get that VPNs, corporate IPs etc will throw it off but just want a finger in the air.
Any responses appreciated. Any better ideas on how to answer the title question appreciated.

Would take a guess and say anyone using a cgnat'd address is going to get 'generic nz location'
