I've routinely seen edge cases where geo IP databases are just wrong, even from providers like Google and others.

My home would routinely show up as from a country a thousand miles away. Friends down the street would show up several states over. Customers I know which were a state over would appear from a different country. The databases are usually right, but they're still often wrong. Often enough to cause frustrations.
