Google IP Geolocation

Tue Mar 30 13:47:41 UTC 2021

Just as another viewpoint on this.

We do not peer or have GGC Cache servers, but I put in a request for a
portal account after seeing this thread, and it was approved in less than
24h, so YMMV.

The only thing I can think of that is different, is that we do move enough
traffic for Google to have us flagged as 'Your traffic levels qualify for
Google Peering' (~2.5Gbps) and are an eyeball network.
