The Akamai EdgeScape service is correct for 194.196.100.86.
Maybe I missed those posts, sorry. I am not aware of any commercial service tht has a /32s in its databases. Neither am I aware of any of the companies that have the data providing the service of 'lookup the location'. It is incorporated into the other services that they provide and are used for internal purposes.
I'm not sure how far Akamai goes in its database. I do know for a fact that there are entries more specific than /24s in its database.
