that the only think i can think of for right now other then getting a vpn with a delaware Ip arp.
Well I got an email back from DP. They said to go here:
www.maxmind.com\en\correction
And ask to have the location fixed. Hopefully my request will hit the DB tomorrow.....but I don't have any indication it will be accepted.
Then I called comcast tonight. Was transferred about 4 times all the way down to Tier 2 team. They can't do anything since I have a dynamic IP address so he told me.
Seems pretty terrible, that after being up and running for many months they can't even get people in the state to be able to log in. I get its sorta comcast's fault as well, but IP based GeoLocation services is not a good way to be doing this.
If Apple can figure out where my iphone, macbook, ipad are within a few feet how can no one else figure this stuff out?
Comcast has a wireless hotspot I can hit from the house as well, but when I hopped into that.....Location was Washington DC......
My iPhone thinks its in Dover DE, but to get tethering I would have to give up my ATT unlimited plan which is not gonna happen.
O well, I guess I will wait and see what happens with maxmind.
