+1 for maxmind (the CityLite database)
Every time I double check against Google's GeoIP it does better but
admittedly, I have probably verified less than 100 of them.
Of course Qwest is awful at reporting IP addresses in the valley and Cox
is ok but not terrific. The cell carriers... forget it.
I was very surprised at how incredibly easy it was to integrate
maxmind's stuff in RoR and for that matter, ruby's GeoKit and ym4r_gm
for finding by distance and mapping.
