Hi John,

I have gone through this pain previously and I suggest you contact the main
Geo IP database providers and have them update their DB as some
organisation use them, they don't rely on IRR entries.
Some hosting companies and content/streaming/Pay-TV providers also use
these GeoIP Databases which may take a while to update.

Here are a some of these companies FYI;

IP2Location www.ip2location.com
W3C Geolocation
Quova www.quova.com
Geo IP by MaxMind www.maxmind.com

Cheers,
Ahad
