How precisely did they pinpoint you on the map? 100m/300ft here in a chromium derivative i reserve for stuff like that.

/me feels im/depressed.

edit: Latency varies but goes down to 6 to 5.5ms, similar for jitter, but even lower to just above 4ms. Line almost maxed out. Just missing 5up/2down. On really ancient HW :-)




It's about 8km off for me, in a different city.

They appear to be putting me exactly where MaxMind's GeoIP database thinks I am.


Your IP address (which is "owned" by your ISP) has a location assigned to it, usually the closest "router" run by your ISP. Depends on how your internet infrastructure looks where you live, but where I live, the map is off by ~3.56 km (~2.21 mi).
