Any experience with Geo IP databases?

I have a few clients that use the city one -- it works pretty well. its not perfect, but, I'd say with about 90% accuracy it gets a city close enough to the surfer. It lists a city that is about 12 miles away from me.

AOL Surfers appear to be from Virginia most of the time.

Yeah, AOL sends everyone through IP's in VA. I'm sure AOL keeps the real IP for their own purposes.
