GeoIP information

[Ian Clark <ian.clark () dreamhost com>]

How do service providers get all the GeoIP companies to have correct
information for their address ranges?  Do they just pay them to update it?
At first I thought it had to do with whois data, but my home Verizon IP
whois lists Ashburn, VA, yet the GeoIP data shows my local city.

We're trying to find a way to correct our GeoIP data for a specific IP
range, but aren't sure what the best practices are for doing so.  Any
advice would be awesome!
