Most people say that IP Geolocation is mere guesswork.

In this study I wanted to find out how good various different geolocation providers rank when being compared with real GPS location data obtained via the JS Location API.

Seems like IP Geolocation is 93% correct to the country level and like 70% correct to the city level.

This is way better than a "random guess" and therefore the utility is definitely given.
